Showers Then Clearing

Good Morning!

Taking a look at the forecast data, there really isn't a whole lot to see in this part of the world over the next several days.  Let's have a look and see what's going on...

QUIET AS A CHURCH MOUSE:  Right now as I write this, all quiet in Michigan, however, take a look at the showers and storms that are coming out of Chicago and over Lake Michigan right now.

that are drifting northeast.  Other than that, nothing to see on the radar aside from a lot of noise and ground clutter...

NOTHING SEVERE IN THE WORKS:  The Storm Prediction Center is not predicting any severe weather for Michigan for the next three days,  In fact, about the only place in the CONUS that has the chance of any severe weather will be out on the eastern seaboard the next three days.

PERHAPS A FEW SHOWERS TODAY:  A boundary working through the Great Lakes today will kick off a few showers and storms in spots.  I would suggest taking an umbrella with you if you're going to watch Friday Night Football at any of the area schools in South Central Michigan tonight,  I do NOT expect the whole day and evening to be a washout, nor do I think every stadium in the area deals with rain.  A few spotty showers are definitely in the mix though, especially along and south of I-94.

DRYING OUT NICELY:  After we get through today, drying out nicely, with the next credible threat at any widespread shower activity not until a week from today.

DOWN THEN UP:  Temperatures will dip for the weekend then climb, as the trough that will touch off our showers here works through the area, then we get more west/southwest flow back into the Great Lakes.  I expect mid to upper 60's and lower 70's in the area for the weekend, then we start to add a few degrees of reading as we get into next week, with 80 making an appearance next Wednesday.

LOOKING AHEAD:  Readings stay in the upper 70's for the rest of the week, and then by next Saturday, we re-introduce into the forecast a chance of showers and a few thunderstorms.

Here's the forecast:

Today - A few spotty showers linger, seasonably cool.  High only 66.

Tonight - A stray shower lingers, otherwise partly cloudy and chilly, lows roll back to 48.

Saturday - Becoming mainly sunny and definitely feeling like fall.  High only 64.

Sunday - Continued Sunny and warmer, high 70,

Monday - Sunny and pleasant, high 74.

Tuesday - Clear skies and warmer, high 76.

Wednesday - Sunshine persists, warmer still, high 80.

Thursday - Becoming mainly cloudy, some scattered showers or a PM storm, high 76.

Have a great weekend!
