Quiet Monday before a few showers return

SAGINAW, Mich. (WNEM) - Although more clouds are making a return today, your Monday will be a quiet day with only a few showers possible near Flint in the afternoon and evening. The rest of Mid-Michigan will have a better opportunity for showers come the late-overnight hours and Tuesday. It’s worth noting though that any rain we see over the next few days will stay light and shouldn’t totally wash-out any plans you might have. If you have some leaves to clean up or grass to cut, you might want to get that done today!

Today

The day started out mild with mostly cloudy skies, and just a few moments of sun. Due to the mostly cloudy skies and an east northeast wind at 5 to 15 mph, highs won’t be too much larger than where we started today at only around 72 degrees. The average high temperature today is 70 degrees, so we’ll actually be just slightly warmer than average today.
