Rain and Flooding Continues

Outlook Through the Weekend

Flood Safety

Additional rounds of rain chances through the rest of the week will keep flooding concerns in the forefront. A few thunderstorms may be possible at times. Stay weather aware and follow directions from local authorities regarding flooding in your area.

Rain showers will continue into this afternoon before things quiet down for a short time tonight into Friday. It should warm up dramatically Friday ahead of a strong cold front that will bring widespread rain and embedded thunderstorms to all of northern Michigan going into Saturday…along with falling temperatures and a return to snowflakes for Sunday.

Widespread flooding impacts are occurring over northern MI and will likely linger into the weekend. Don’t underestimate the power of water. It only takes six inches of fast-moving water to knock over and carry away an adult, and twelve inches of rapidly-moving water to sweep away a small car.
