"Michigan Braces for Lingering Storms and Excessive Rainfall, Promising Week Ahead"

Showers and thunderstorms are expected near the Michigan/Indiana/Ohio border, potentially ending the ongoing drought but also raising concerns of flooding. The Weather Prediction Center has placed southern Michigan under a slight risk of excessive rainfall, with a 15% chance of flash flooding. Parts of central Michigan are also at a marginal risk, with a 5% chance of flash flooding. The storms will move east along a stalled warm front, bringing gusty winds and up to an inch of rain to much of the Lower Peninsula. Flash flooding can be dangerous, and it is important to avoid driving through flooded roadways.
