    LANSING, Mich. — More sunshine is expected in our neighborhoods today. However, these mostly sunny conditions will be coming to an end as a slow moving cold front will drive showers and storms in our neighborhoods Wednesday. Today, winds out of the southwest will strengthen. This will allow our temperatures to warm into the 80's today. This is well above average for this time of year.

    LANSING, Mich. — Records have been set in our neighborhoods following the heavy rain and flooding due to the remnants of Hurricane Beryl. The former Hurricane broke records itself as the earliest issued Category 5 Hurricane in the Atlantic since Hurricane Emily in 2005. Above we have a decent look at the track of the heaviest rain where we saw areas in the state of Michigan that had greater than half an inch per hour precipitation rates.
