Calm Tuesday evening before rainy, breezy Wednesday

A mild Tuesday transitions to a rainy and breezy Wednesday as a Central Plains system approaches the U.P. Showers move in Wednesday morning, mainly light in intensity (but light to moderate west). Then, rain becomes widespread through Upper Michigan in the afternoon -- heavy rainfall at times plus isolated thunderstorm chances. Rainfall amounts can range from 0.25-1.50″. Showers diminish Friday as the system lifts northeast of the U.P. Warm and sunnier conditions kick off Memorial Day weekend Saturday, until a Northern Plains system brings rounds of rain Sunday through early next week.
