- Models in good agreement that evening storms are likely Tuesday.

Slim rain chances Wednesday and Thursday
- A couple of disturbances will swing through on the back side of the Tuesday storms -- bringing us slight chances for a few drops Wednesday and Thursday.
- The best chance to see any rain these days will probably be the further north you go towards the thumb.
Another chance for rain Saturday

- Still a few showers look possible on Saturday, but it doesn’t look like a wash out.
Other headlines
Hurricane Huron anniversary
- This storms anniversary is Sept. 11-15, 1996, the peak of which was on Sept. 14.
- No it was not an actual hurricane -- but it looked like it from satellite views and in some aspects behaved like one when looking at certain meteorological dynamics. (More on this later this week).
Hurricane Ike Anniversary
- Hurricane Ike’s landfall anniversary is Sept. 13.
- Ike was the 7th costliest hurricane in U.S. history and killed over 200 people. But what relates us to this storm the most is that the remnants of this storm moved over SE MI, which is pretty rare.
