Heavy Rainfall
Thunderstorms dropped heavy rain in some locations as they tracked through Lower Michigan yesterday. The worst-hit areas experienced minor flooding of streets and in low-lying areas. As is typical when we see thunderstorms, rainfall can vary quite a bit from place to place. Rain totals in Kalamazoo for example ranged from 0.16” at the airport to 1.22 inches southwest of town.
