LANSING, Mich. — Showers and storms come to an end this morning leaving wet conditions across our neighborhoods. Once the cold front advances through our neighborhoods, winds will gradually weaken into the afternoon hours with temperatures falling through the morning hours out of the 60's.
However, we are tracking another low pressure system with a warm front right behind the outgoing cold front aiding in warming temperatures in our neighborhoods this afternoon. We are expected to get back into the upper 50's for northern neighborhoods like St. Johns, Lansing, and Williamston. Temperatures in the 60's are favored for southern neighborhoods like Jackson and Hillsdale later this afternoon.

If you are headed out to Comerica Park to see the Tigers home opener, conditions will be favorable with first pitch at 1:10 PM facing off against the St. Louis Cardinals. We can expect some breezy conditions still with a gradual weakening trend through the afternoon and temperatures hovering in the 60's with a gradual warm up. Peaks of sunshine are also possible.
This same low pressure system will also sweep a cold front across our neighborhoods driving additional showers and thunderstorms across all of our neighborhoods. The Storm Prediction Center has issued a marginal risk for isolated severe storms south of the I-94 corridor in Jackson County and Hillsdale County.
Timing for returning showers begins around 10 PM tonight with severe impacts looking to begin after midnight. These showers and storms will continue through the majority of the day with the severe impacts lasting from around 4 AM to 8 AM. Severe impacts we are watching out for include large hail and heavy rainfall rates that could lead to localized flooding concerns across all of our neighborhoods.
Showers and storms that continue through the daytime hours Saturday will remain non-severe with precipitation coming to an end around 8 PM. Make sure to grab an umbrella if you have plans tonight and have any plans Saturday.
Once this system advances through our neighborhoods, winds will shift out of the northwest. This will cool our temperatures with strong winds with gusts up to 35 mph and isolated gusts up to 40 mph for Easter Sunday. Temperatures during the morning hours will hover around freezing with feels like temperatures below freezing.
There still remains an isolated chance for a flurry with no major winter impacts expected during the Sunday morning hours. Highs only reach the mid 40's with feels like temperatures into the 30's. Make sure to bundle up when heading out the door on Easter as road conditions shouldn't see too many issues.
We still have chances to see some rain and snow to start the new week on Monday as temperatures continue to cool. However a warm up is on the way by midweek with temperatures warming back to the 60's by Thursday with chances for showers.
