Light rain could start as early as 5 PM Wednesday evening in our most southern neighborhoods as cloud cover this afternoon increases from the south and filters in across all neighborhoods. We will continue to see showers fill into our neighborhoods tonight, coming to an end past midnight. No major impacts are expected as we don't have much instability to work with.

Ample moisture returns Thursday as widespread rain showers are expected beginning in the early afternoon hours Thursday and running through around midnight. Steadier rainfall rates are possible so make sure to bring the umbrella when heading out the door. Rainfall totals with Thursday's event range from .5 - .75". Flooding concerns are not expected to be an issue.

We have much better chances to see thunderstorms to close our week Friday night and into the AM hours Saturday as instability builds ahead of an incoming cold front. Storms Friday night are more focused in our most northern neighborhoods like Lansing and St. Johns while all neighborhoods have a chance to see thunderstorm impacts with storms ahead of the frontal passage.

The Storm Prediction Center has all of our neighborhoods under a Marginal risk for severe weather Friday into Saturday morning with possible impacts including hail, severe wind gusts, and an isolated Tornado. However, with continued loss of instability in the overnight hours, storm potential could really drop. It really depends on timing which we will continue to iron out as we progress through the week.

Temperatures are expected to reach the 60's beginning Friday and stay mild with more 60 degree days to start the new week Monday and Tuesday.
