.DISCUSSION...
Cold front to sag through the region Saturday into Sunday. Current
expectation is for hot/humid weather to hang on into Saturday...
setting the stage for development of showers/storms in the afternoon
and evening...with potential for storms to stay focused more toward
northeast Lower MI along the Lake Huron lake breeze boundary. Not
impossible some storms develop over WI tonight and make it into
northern MI Saturday AM, which would lead to a cloudier and cooler
day and could limit redevelopment of storms. SW to W winds 10-15mph
Saturday; breezier Sunday with NE winds 15-20mph. Sunday currently
looks dry though not impossible a few thunderstorms could linger
across northwest Lower MI.
