After the heavy rain, and even a tornado, our Tuesday afternoon was quite nice although very chilly.  Our high temp struggled to reach 70°F in the afternoon.  We received a total of 1.39″ of rain, which finally ended around noon.  The tornado occurred in southern Michigan, near Three Rivers, and was estimated to be an EF0.  That was a bit unexpected as no severe storms were expected yesterday.  Today begins an extended period of dry weather, and there is no rain in the forecast anytime soon.  It’s about time!!!
