Overnight rain will end from south to north early this morning – with a rumble of thunder not out of the question as a potent cold front crosses the area. Once the rain ends, the remainder of the day should be relatively dry, with nothing more than a sprinkle or flurry possible this afternoon.
Wind advisory
Wind will pick up dramatically behind the cold front, with gusts of 40 to 45 mph not out of the question. Accordingly, the National Weather Service has issued a Wind Advisory from 6:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. today. That front will also swing winds around from the southwest, which will end the Lakeshore Flood Advisory for the Michigan Lake Huron Counties.
Finally, it will be warmer when you leave for work this morning than when you come home later today, as temperatures will fall into the upper 30s (3 to 4 degrees Celsius) by the end of the afternoon.
