This Is A Work In Progress...

Good Evening!

Another mild and seasonably pleasant day is winding down in the blog area, with clouds in the vicinity that may release a few raindrops over the next few hours.  Off to the north, showers and rain have been ongoing for the bulk of the day.

Quiet in the immediate area, though I can't guarantee that some spots won't see a hit and run shower or a roaming storm as the evening progresses.  Let's take a deeper dive, we do have some things to discuss.

TEMPERATURES:  We stayed pretty comfy today with an unofficial high of 81 in Jackson, 80 in Lansing.  We are cooling down now as the sun slowly sets.  Temperatures tonight will drop to right around 50 with mainly cloudy skies.  We'll warm back up to about 77 tomorrow with some mixed sunshine, and then get warmer still for Sunday, as we climb to the 81-84 range.  We get very warm for the start of the week, climbing all the way up to 87 before a system comes through and cools us back down.  Monday and Tuesday are shaping up to be a bit uncomfortable, with computer forecast data suggesting dew points right around or a touch above 60, so it will be sticky.  A mid to late-week cool down appears possible, with temperatures rolling back to near their average of around 73 as we get ready for Memorial Day weekend and the unofficial start of Summer.

I will post this for the time being, then come back and fill it out with the usual maps and discussion of rain and severe weather - looks like quite the show in the Plains for the weekend!

More to come...
