The forecast from FOX 17 Chief Meteorologist Kevin Craig: Some much needed rain is expected to arrive for parts of our FOX 17 viewing area overnight, with more widespread rain arriving on Sunday. Since April 6, we are the driest we have ever been in this stretch, so we need rain! Thankfully, we will see widespread showers throughout Sunday and into Tuesday from a low pressure system rotating into and through the Great Lakes. The extensive cloud cover and precipitation will also hold our temperatures only in the 60s the next few days. An isolated thunderstorm possible overnight, otherwise widespread showers are expected on Sunday...especially through the first and middle part of the day. A lull in the showers will likely occur on Monday as the low pressure wraps around the region, bringing in cooler air. Rain will become more widespread again on Tuesday as it wraps back around the low in southern lower Michigan. The estimated rain accumulation by Tuesday will be anywhere from a half inch to an inch across the region. Stay tuned to FOX 17 for your latest weather updates.
