Rain Storm Update: Southward Adjustment and Timing for Heaviest Rain

A rain system is expected to move through Lower Michigan, with the heaviest rain falling across the southern half of the region, particularly in the southwest corner. Rain amounts will taper off quickly going northward, with areas like Traverse City, Grayling, Alpena, and northward potentially receiving little to no rain. The rain is forecasted to start in the southeast part of Lower Michigan in the late afternoon or evening and continue into early Tuesday afternoon. The rainfall forecast indicates at least an inch of rain south of a line from Grand Rapids to Flint, with potential for two to three inches in some areas. Northern Lower Michigan is expected to receive only a couple of tenths of an inch of rain at most.
