Midwest Braces for Weekend Rain and Storms

After more than three weeks of no rain, SE Michigan is expected to receive some relief from drought conditions with showers forecasted for this weekend. A slow-moving cool front will bring much-needed rain to the area on Sunday, with some parts expected to receive up to half an inch of rain. However, the dry ground may cause some street flooding in flood-prone areas. The showers and storms are expected to move south of the area on Monday, leaving Metro Detroit mostly dry with some scattered showers possible on Thursday. The rest of the week is expected to be warm and dry with isolated shower chances on Sunday.
