LANSING, Mich. — Overnight, a weak trough advancing through Wisconsin will bring showers and some possible weak storms into our neighborhoods. We could see these showers make landfall in Michigan anytime after midnight and possibly last through as early as 6 AM. No severe impacts are expected, but it may be a wet start to Saturday with more sunshine expected by 8 AM.

Throughout the rest of the day Saturday, we will see mostly sunny skies as temperatures soar into the upper 70's/lower 80's. Thunderstorm chances by the evening hours Saturday have dropped a bit further south with a chance to miss us completely. We will still be watching Hillsdale County for potential to get clipped by some storms during these evening hours anytime around 7/8PM. The marginal risk for severe weather has also dropped further south in northern Indiana and far southwest Michigan.
