At 2:15 p.m., five intermittent bands of rain and storms stretched westward from southwest of Detroit to south-central Wisconsin.

The storms will leave behind a taste of early fall, with temperatures falling to the upper 50s Wednesday night.

Otherwise, the day will be mostly cloudy with temperatures a few degrees above normal, the weather service says.

The National Weather Service Storm Prediction Center has issued a slight risk of severe weather.
