Live radar image here with the usual links to follow. Report on Saturday storms: The Muskegon Airport reported a wind west at 35 mph with a gust to 49 mph around midnight. Muskegon has had 1.07″ of rain – virtually nothing SE of G.R. yet. A private weather station on Henry St. had a gust to 47 mph. The Muskegon GLERL station on the beach hit 43 mph. S. Haven beach also 37 mph. Gusts to 50 mph just afer midnight at Milwaukee and 47 mph with 1/4″ hail at Racine. Time of day not the best for storms as we are in the 70s now instead of low 90s. Check the radar links below. Here’s local storm reports from W. Michigan, Northern Indiana and the Michigan counties that border Indiana, Northeast Illinois (wow! 5.06″ of rain at Bradley, south of Chicago and still raining hard! 4.74″ at Bourbonnais IL and golf-ball sized hail at Crown Point, Indiana), and Central Illinois. Look at Storm Total Rainfall from Chicago (Romeoville radar) showing 8″ of rain in Kankakee Co. (probably some hail contamination, so that may be a little high). Also, gust to 49 mph at Holland St. Park. Gusts to at least 45 mph at my house (SE Alpine Twp.) with small branches down and an ornamental windmill blown over next door. A few trees down in Comstock Park. Small hail at New Buffalo – Berrien Co./SW corner of the state. Heavy rain at my house…thought for awhile it was going more sideways than coming down. Gust to 44 mph at Lake Michigan and Collindale on the west side of G.R. and 40 mph at the Muskegon beach. 1.03″ Greenville. Individual storm cells moving NE while the line moves slowly east. Record high temperature of 92 in Muskegon on Saturday. 118 in Death Valley CA. The t-storm outlook from SPC includes parts of S. Lower Michigan.

Also, here’s the latest on Carlotta which was a Category 1 hurricane as it hit the SW Mexican coast. The storm has toppled trees and produced heavy rainfall and significant flooding.
An even 1/10th of an inch of rain overnight. Not enough to matter -
We got approximately .4 of an inch total here on the west side of Rockford.
not very warm out but man is it humid right now.
Is it still supposed to clear up this afternoon? We have plans to go out to the lake for some boating. We are also planning a cook out. Lets hope it clears up!
The rain was awesome! It rained from about 4:00 am until about 7:30 or so. It was a nice and steady rain.
yes as the sun is back out in wyoming, looks like we should be in the clear most of today.
