LANSING, Mich. — Scattered rain showers linger into this morning. Today is still a mild day with temperatures well into the 60s. The wind will pick up out of the southwest and some gusts will climb into the 30-40 mph range. After a quiet start to Thursday, rain will develop late in the day and continue into early Friday. In fact, this storm system is our best chance in the extended forecast for a soaking rain across the region. Cooler temps will follow for the weekend, and by cooler we mean back to average for this time of year in the upper 40s to near 50 degrees.
One important note for today as well --- We remain in a high fire threat area, so please be careful when burning or starting campfires as the vegetation is very dry.
