Southern Michigan has received a lot of rain from the remnants of Hurricane Beryl. Here are some of the rainfall totals so far.
Please note that rain is still expected, so these are just the rainfall amounts through late morning and early afternoon. This will give you a sense of where the rain was the heaviest. Once the storm passes, we will be able to give you a map of rainfall amounts.
Except for three small but very heavy rains, precipitation has been fairly consistent. These three very heavy rains were responsible for the flooding and some evacuations yesterday. Otherwise, the southern half of Lower Michigan has been just pouring with rain.
So far, about two-thirds of the way through the storm, I’d say 1.5 to 2.5 inches of rain in the yellow band, with smaller areas getting 2.5 to 6 inches. The light red patches are the areas with the heaviest rain.
Here you can find a detailed overview of the rainfall until this morning for some cities and until 1pm for others. It is still raining, so we will not be able to give the totals until tomorrow.
Marshall, southwest of Lansing, and Haslett, east of Lansing, were hit by two severe thunderstorms yesterday. These storms brought several inches of rain within one to two hours.
You can see that many major cities have already received over three inches of rain.
There are scattered rains across the western half of Lower Michigan. Radar is currently showing very heavy rains again in some of these isolated storms. The majority of the rain is currently confined to the Thumb and will taper off around 6 p.m.
There are still some thin bands of rain that could affect most of Eastern Michigan through tonight.
