We had another .32 of an inch of rain overnight bringing our total to 5.61 inches for October and 7.77 inches for the fall season. We have a current temp of 50° at 5:30 this morning. Yesterday’s high temp was 60° with a low of 49° which is above normal for this time of year.
Looking forward to tomorrow’s game in Lansing, most of the rain should have moved out by noon though there may be some drizzle, it will be cool, perfect football weather – temps should be around 50°.
For Halloween, temps should still rise to the mid-50s with overnight lows in the mid to upper 30s.
Forecast Discussion
- Occasional rain today diminishing tonight into Saturday Bands of rain...mainly light...will continue to push in from the south as the storm system slowly tracks up the OH Valley. The 700 mb low is shown to be centered just east of Detroit 12z Saturday...so we would still see some lingering rain for the first part of the day. The best lift comes through today as mid level fgen persists...but tonight into early Saturday a steady decrease in the lift is noted. As a result we will feature decreasing POPs then. Most models are still showing a half inch of rain or less for the CWA...but the NAM and NAMNEST are showing a little more. Either way...we are not expecting impacts from these rainfall amounts. - A few sprinkles possible Sunday Models are showing a decent mid level vort max pushing through Sunday as the cold front moves in. Overall though the moisture will be limited with this front. Forecast soundings keep the moisture depth limited. Thus at this time it appears that a few sprinkles may occur Sunday. We will add this to the forecast. - Colder next week with some showers possible A cold airmass will overspread the region early next week as northwest flow persists. Several mid level waves are shown to arrive as well. Each one of these could lead to some showers. The atmosphere does become cold enough for the lakes to add moisture to the atmosphere as well. While surface and low level temperatures are shown to be above freezing...any decent burst in the precipitation could lead to some snow. At this time it does not look like it will be cold enough for impacts but we will need to monitor this closely.

Major solar flares yesterday. 2 M class flares and a major X class flare, all heading straight this way. Pretty much guaranteed Northern Lights this weekend when it hits.
