LANSING, Mich. — Cloud cover will slowly thicken this morning due to an approaching system today, bringing widespread showers and thunderstorms. Showers and storms are likely to go in waves through the day, beginning in the late morning / afternoon and lasting through early Saturday morning. We have been placed in a MARGINAL RISK for strong to severe storms, with the greatest potential for severe weather in the early afternoon and late evening today. Cooler and drier air is likely for the weekend, with high temperatures in the upper 70s near 80 degrees. Try to get away from the city lights this weekend to grab a peek at the Perseid Meteor showers. They'll be visible above the horizon and should be active throughout the night, both Saturday and Sunday. We'll get a taste of fall on Monday with another round of scattered showers, a few thunderstorms, and highs in the lower 70s.
