Showers, Thunderstorms On The Way Ahead Of A StrongCold Front – Mid Michigan
Our morning began calm and sunny. Since then, the winds have picked up and clouds rolled in. It felt almost like a summer morning and temps are still holding in the low 70s. Radar is showing a line of showers and thunderstorms ahead of a cold front which will dramatically drop our temperatures below the average once again. There have been a few sprinkles so far but most of the rain remains to our west. I figure that it will be here in about another hour or so. My guys got most of our outdoor furniture put away since the weather was so nice.
