We saw close to .4″ of rainfall yesterday in Lansing as showers and weak storms traversed through the area. We will continue to track storm potential today as we await the passing cold front. High temperatures will warm to the mid 70’s today continuing the trend of cooler than average conditions.

More storms possible Thursday across Mid-Michigan as we track a hot and humid week ahead
Ahead of the cold front, we will see scattered storms develop which are mainly focused for northern areas today. We are working with a bit better instability compared to yesterday and some severe impacts are not completely off the table. We are watching time frames of 1 PM to 4 PM today with strong winds and heavy rainfall rates as a main impact. Keep that umbrella around.
The Severe Weather Outlook has a marginal risk for isolated severe storms for portions of the thumb and areas northeast of us. Regardless of this positioning, our area could still run into an isolated strong to severe storm that could produce some damaging wind gusts and even possibly some hail. We will be watching closely for updates throughout the morning.
The cold front advances through this afternoon and we will see some sunshine to end the day with winds gradually weakening. Temperatures will fall into the upper 60’s with dry air following.
We are not completely done with showers potential, however, as another low pressure system tracks east through southern Indiana and Ohio Friday and into Saturday. Michigan stays on the northern edge of this system, but some models do push some precipitation potential into southern areas like Jackson and Hillsdale during the evening hours as early as 6 PM Friday and into the overnight hours. No major impacts are expected and we will dry up heading into Saturday…
