 A separate zone where showers and thunderstorms may fire up extends from Missouri into lower Michigan today. Here, a weaker storm will be the focus for wet weather from the eastern Great Lakes to the Midwest, with areas from northern Illinois through Minnesota looking dry instead. Additional showers related to this feature can stretch from the eastern Great Lakes through northern New England, but most rain should be fairly light when compared to the heavier rainfall observed in parts of Vermont and New Hampshire earlier this week.
