Aug 6, 1998
A warm front, oriented west to east, was located just south of Michigan during the early morning hours. A series of showers and thunderstorms developed just north of the front. These storms moved east, parallel to the warm front, in a typical train-echo pattern. The result was a classic heavy rain event for southeast Michigan. Some rainfall totals were: 5.7 inches in Hudson, 5.09 inches in Manchester, 4.12 inches in Ann Arbor, 3.78 inches in Farmington Hills, and 3.55 inches in Ypsilanti.So
