Southwest Michigan Weather

Some showers and even a few embedded storms are moving through the area at this time, the heaviest of which is moving through Cass/St Joseph counties. If we get enough sunshine after these showers move out, we could get some more thunderstorms popping up later today with the heating of the day.  The storms will not be severe.

There's still a Flood Advisory for the St Joseph River at Burlington in Calhoun County. It has a stage of 5.6 feet. Bankfull stage is 5 feet. The isolated storms we see today shouldn't make too much of an impact. We've got dry weather returning Sunday.

Update on the oil spill- Officials are saying they do not expect it to reach Lake Michigan. The city of Saugatuck is giving out live updates on the spill at their site-

Anywhere from 280,000 to 1 million gallons of oil spilled into Tallmadge Creek originally, which made it's way to the Kalamazoo River. Cleanup efforts are going to take another month.
