The chance of rain Saturday is 70 percent all day, from 8 a.m. to 8 p.m., Kulik said. The good news is it will be relatively warm, with a high near 65. Winds gusting up to 24 mph will likely make it feel colder though.
The forecast for Sunday doesn’t look a whole lot better, with a 50 percent chance of showers and thunderstorms. It’ll be breezy and warmer with winds gusting up to 30 mph and a high temperature around 78.
The sogginess continues on Monday with a 70 percent chance of showers and thunderstorms and a high near 65.
The reason for all this water? Two low-pressure systems are making their way across the Plains to Michigan. One is expected to move through Saturday and the other on Sunday, Kulik said. "So we've got a heavy dose of rain coming." About a half inch to an inch is expected over the weekend, she said.
Tuesday will bring partly sunny skies and a high near 55. A chance of showers will linger though.

Better go rain or shine! It's the only thing you will ever get free from the U! They don't even put a schedule in with the bill for football tickets!
