Forecast Discussion

Upper level cresting in the jet stream will continue to bring warm and dry conditions to the forecast area. Highs should return to the 90s tomorrow, as rain will evade the area until Monday night into Tuesday. A dip in the jet stream, along with very strong jet stream winds will move in to central lower Michigan Monday night. This will drive low pressure at the surface, along with a cold front that will set up across the central mid-western states. This front will move toward the forecast area throughout the day Monday, and push through the area Monday night into Tuesday. This will cause showers and thunderstorms to move into the forecast area late Monday night and Tuesday morning. The main threat with these storms will be heavy rain and flooding, along with some non-severe gusty winds. After this front pushes through, broad low pressure will hold over the area. This will keep showers and thunderstorms possible through the remainder of the week. With lack of forcing, and increasing of wind speed with height, no severe threat will be expected with these short-lived, scattered afternoon storms. With cresting in the jet stream, expect warm temperatures to hold tough over the area through at least next weekend.
