FOOTBALL FORECASTS
College Football, the great way to spend a Saturday afternoon. Here's a look at the forecast for our two Big 10 teams as they prepare to do battle tomorrow:
Enjoy the games!

Warming Up - Maybe Some Rain?
Good Evening!
Man I just can't seem to get fully caught up with everything, trying to get setlled and back on the feet is proving to be quite a challenge. Oh well.
One thing that isn't proving to be a challenge is enjoying some of this gorgeous late summer weather with just a hint of fall in the mornings. Temperatures in the mid to upper 70's the last several days with nighttime lows in the 50's and low humidity have made it quite enjoyable, along with the lack of rain.
WARMER WEEKEND AHEAD: Taking a look into the weekend, tomorrow is shaping up to be warm,with temperatures into the 80's, and the possibility of a couple of scattered showers or thunderstorms as a surface front sags southward tomorrow afternoon. If you're on the south side of the front, expect highs anywhere from 82 to 87, with readings dropping back into the 70's as the system works through the area.
THE MENTION OF SOME RAIN: I have said and will continue to say, that models don't do well forecasting summer convection. Especially when all it takes a little bit of difference in how much sun a place sees to determine whether there will be showers or not. Looking at the forecast data, the computers are split on whether we see anything here. As a result, we'll add in the mention of about a 3 in 10 crack at some showers with perhaps a lone thunderstorm or two, and the best chance for that will be after about 3 PM EDT. I can't get much more specific than that. Perhaps we'll get lucky and the models may be able to bracket an area for us with the next run.
A QUICK TEMPERATURE ROLLBACK: After we get through tomorrow, we see some cooling in temperatures as readings roll back into the upper 70's, but don't get used to that. It looks like our Indian Summer may be in effect, with readings pushing 90 by mid week, along with some better chances at more showers and storms.
FOOTBALL WEATHER: You may have to deal with just a lone shower if you're partaking of the night game at the Big House in Ann Arbor as the University of Michigan Wolverines battle the Fightin' Irish of Notre Dame. The kickoff is set for 8 PM and game time should have some scattered clouds and a temperature around 78 degrees. The early game is up in East Lansing as Michigan State does battle with the South Florida Bulls at high noon. The temperature should be around 74 under mainly clear skies.
Here's a look at the forecast for Jackson and vicinity:
Tonight, mainly clear, some high clouds, comfortable, lows near 58, wind SSW 4-7 MPH.
Tomorrow, sunny to start with some increasing clouds, a late afternoon shower or isolated storm can't be ruled out, high 83, wind SW 5-10 MPH.
Tomorrow night, becoming cloudy, a better chance of scattered showers or a couple of hit and run thunderstorms, lows near 60. Wind SW 4-8 MPH, turning NE 5-10 as the surface front drops through.
Sunday, sunny skies, much cooler, high 75.
There's a look at your forecast, have a wonderful evening! Blessings.

Quick Peek - Today and Tomorrow.
Good Morning!
Nothing like starting off back out of the gate with a busted forecast. Cloudiness that persisted into the morning hours limited the drop in temperature, so instead of clear skies, we had cloudy skies and readings about 10 degrees warmer than what I forecast. Such is life.
Taking a look at forecast data right now, temperatures are going to climb some over the next few days, and we'll keep the mixed sunshine around for the next several days. We may pick up a stray shower on Saturday or Sunday, but I don't see another really credible chance of rain until next Wednesday. Not much in the way of severe weather expected across the lower 48 either. The only slight risk areas are well away from Michigan, up into the Pacific Northwest, Washington state and parts of Idaho.
Here's the forecast for Jackson:
Today: Mixed sunshine, seasonably cool, high 73. Wind WNW 5-10 MPH.
Tonight: Starry skies and cool, low 53, wind NW 3-6 MPH.
Tomorrow: Mainly sunny, some clouds, high 76, wind WNW 4-8 MPH.
We'll have a more detailed forecast for you later on. Have a great day!

BUS STOP FORECAST
We're back!
If you haven't read earlier, we're back and open for business. Summer is over and school starts tomorrow in a lot of areas. If your child isn't already back in the classroom, they should be tomorrow. Here's what you can expect for them waiting for the bus:
More forecast forthcoming...

Great Holiday Weather....
Good Morning!
Fairly seasonable weather is expected to stay with us for the next few days, with the general trend a couple of degrees above normal as we get into midweek. Breezy conditions and a mix of clouds and sunshine will keep temperatures from getting too hot. Let's have a look:
LABOR DAY: A ridge of warm, moist airmass is sitting over the western half of the US this morning, with troughing digging it's way into the eastern half of the nation. What that means for us is increasing sunshine, and diminishing chances of rain. Northwesterly breezes should keep us fairly comfy with temperatures in the mid 70's as Canadian high pressure works into the area. We keep that in place for the next day or two as we get ready to send the kids...
BACK TO SCHOOL: A good many kids head out to school tomorrow as the 2013-14 school year kicks off. The bus stop forecast looks fine, with temperatures around 52 and clear skies to welcome the rising sun, while they wait for their bus or catch a ride with someone. We'll see more sunshine and temperatures right around 75 again.
NO SEVERE WEATHER EXPECTED: The next three days are devoid of severe weather anywhere in the US of A according to the Storm Prediction Center. That being said, the upper third of the mitten and the Upper Peninsula could see some showers or pulse storms as that upper wave meanders through today and possibly tomorrow. Nonetheless, a quiet stretch of weather expected in this area and across the lower 48. We'll see if that holds in subsequent runs.
LOOKING AHEAD: Mild conditions and just plain nice until early next week. Forecast models are suggesting a surface boundary working in here on Sunday that may touch off some scattered showers and perhaps a couple of popcorn thunderstorms. Friday night football is looking just fine this week. Plenty of sunshine for the school kids during recess and on the way home, and weather shouldn't be much of a factor as you commute to and from work.
Here's the forecast:
Today: Increasing sunshine as the day wears on, pleasant, high 74, wind NW 5-10 MPH.
Tonight: Mostly starry skies, some passing clouds, low 49. Wind NW 3-7 MPH.
Tuesday: Sunny and splendid, high 75, wind WNW 4-9 MPH.
Tuesday Night: Clear and comfy, great sleeping weather with a window open, lows near 46, wind cal to W at 6 MPH.
Wednesday: Sunny, warmer, high 80. Wind W 5-10 MPH.
There's a quick look at your forecast through mid-week, we'll have an update and look into the weekend later on. ENJOY THE LABOR DAY HOLIDAY! It's good to be back!
RE-OPENING
Thanks to those that have kept my family in thought and prayer or shot off a quick message. Things have calmed down for the moment, and South Central Michigan Weather is re-opening! The schedule is still somewhat up in the air, but expect posts to start up again at least every other day. Forecast for Labor Day and back to school forthcoming! Good to be back.
