    LANSING, Mich. (WLNS)– Sweltering temperatures have engulfed much of the Midwest for the past several days, but now some relief is in sight. Today will still be a hot one, with highs in the low 90s and heat index values near 100° this afternoon. A cold front will move into the region later today, bringing with it cooler temperatures and the chance for storms. Storms are expected to develop in the late afternoon and continue through the evening.

(WLNS)Though mostly cloudy skies will linger over our area for most of the day today, isolated pockets of sunshine are possible, especially in the early afternoon. If we see extra sunshine, it will help destabilize our atmosphere, opening the door to the potential for severe weather.

    LANSING, Mich. (WLNS)– Colder air has moved into the region for the end of the week, which is allowing another system to bring us the chance for rain and snow showers today. Rain and snow showers are expected across Mid-Michigan this afternoon and evening, with the greatest chance for rain/snow in our southern counties closest to Indiana and Ohio. Snow totals of an inch or less are expected, with the main impact being slippery spots on roads and reduced visibility at times.
