LANSING, Mich. — Partly cloudy skies will continue with pleasant temperatures gradually falling through the 50s this evening.

Showers return after midnight Thursday as the frontal boundary tracks back toward the north. Rain will be spotty at first, but is likely to develop into a steadier rain that will carry through the Friday morning commute. Rain ends again by midday, but leaves us with cloudier skies and cooler temperatures on Friday with highs being held back to the low 50s.
Concerns remain low for any new issues with flooding from Thursday and Friday's rain. While Friday morning's rain will be more persistent for several hours, it is still expected to be on the lighter side.
