Description:
Southwest winds are on the increase across northern lower
Michigan this afternoon, with gusts approaching 40 mph at times
across northwest lower and gusts approaching 35 mph at times
across the rest of the region. Meanwhile, a cluster of rain
showers currently over central upper Michigan will traverse
eastern upper and northern lower Michigan through the evening in
conjunction with a frontal boundary passage. Stronger gusts of 35
to 45 mph may occur suddenly during the onset of a shower in any
given area. Any of these stronger wind gusts may displace loose
outdoor objects and may lead to small limbs being downed. Winds
will taper through the evening once this batch of showers is
forced through the region this evening as the frontal boundary
clears the region.
