Rain, thunderstorms likely throughout the state late this afternoon into the overnight

What could be one of the last days of thunder this year will come within the next 18-20 hours.

A cold front is making its way south east across the lower peninsula and with it should come widespread rain and thunderstorms.  A band of precipitation is already forming to the north, drenching areas of the U.P.  It will be moving into lower Michigan as the day progresses, promising to make conditions wet.

Temperatures should reach the low to mid 70s by this afternoon across the southern portions of the state and upper 60s to low 70s across the central portions.  By tomorrow they'll be trending back toward the 50s with lows in the 40s.
