Rain to Start Next Week, Chance to Close Out Harvest to End the Week

Some saw rain on Halloween across Michigan. In his Seed Genetics Direct Harvest Weather Forecast, Chief Meteorologist Ryan Martin has a couple of dry days on tap for Friday and Saturday across the state.

“Cool temperatures are in but we’re not bitterly cold by any stretch of the imagination. I think we should see evaporation ramp up here Friday and especially Saturday, as temperatures moderate. High pressure sits over Michigan through your Saturday.”

According to Martin, rain arrives in Michigan early Sunday morning to midday, “and it continues through Monday, Tuesday, even into early Wednesday. This is generally going to be a lighter kind of rain. I won’t rule out a few thunderstorms, but I think most of those are going to be farther south and west of us. The only exception may be early Tuesday morning. We could see thunderstorms coming across, honestly, of all places the UP, but we are seeing rains of half to two inches. Getting into the upper end of that rain range will require thunderstorms that I don’t think are going to be dominant in all areas just yet.”

Following that surge of moisture, we are back to dry weather Wednesday afternoon, maybe Thursday for some, through Sunday.

“We are looking at temperatures cool as Canadian high pressure comes down, but not cold when compared to November again. We are looking at sunshine dominating those days, maybe a few more clouds around just because of the cool air, but no precipitation. I think that high pressure area is going to be a block to our next weather system that’s trying to develop out in the western plains next Sunday. It will not be able to head towards us until high pressure either dissipates or moves farther off to the east.”
