Chance of showers becomes higher late Thursday

A storm system centered near Kansas City is spawning severe weather to its south over parts of Missouri, Arkansas and Louisiana. North and east of the storm’s center, rain will be moving into our area. There could be a few isolated showers late tonight, but a greater chance of showers will move in late Thursday.

High temperatures Wednesday ranged from 55 degrees in Oscoda to 79 degrees in Mio. Temperatures were cooler along the Lake Huron shoreline with a light breeze out of the east, while it almost felt like summer along M-33. Thursday will be similar with cooler temperatures lakeside and temperatures warming to the middle 70s well west of the shoreline.

That chance of showers will continue through Friday morning and afternoon. A period of dry weather will likely settle in Friday evening and last into Saturday morning. The chance of showers will go up again late-day Saturday.
