LANSING, Mich. — Occasional rain will continue tonight as a sprawling storm system spreads north across the Ohio Valley. Much of the rain will be on the lighter side, but a heavier downpour or two cannot be ruled out. Most of our neighborhoods will hit their lows in the low 40s during the evening, with temperatures climbing toward 50 by daybreak.
Leftover showers will linger through mid-morning on Saturday, followed by mostly cloudy skies for the remainder of the day. Breezy conditions will remain in place, with southwesterly winds clocking in at 10-20 mph and gusts possibly up to 30 mph at times. Upside, will be highs in the low to mid 50s along with the possibility for a few afternoon breaks of sun.
The break in the wet weather won't last, though. A second disturbance will sweep into the Great Lakes late Saturday night, setting up a round of steadier rain for most of our neighborhoods by daybreak Sunday. Periods of rain will continue throughout the day as low pressure tracks just to our southeast over Lake Erie. Highs will trend cooler, but will still be well above late-December average in the low 40s. A brief switch to a wintry mix may occur late Sunday night as the system departs.
From there, Monday continues to look dry with mostly cloudy skies. Forecasts continue to evolve, but the potential for a mix of rain and snow remains in place for New Year's Eve. Regardless of how that disturbance plays out, 2025 looks to start out in typical Michigan fashion with the chance for lake effect snow showers Wednesday through Friday, with highs back to the upper 20s and low 30s.
