Radar says 3.5-5.0" was at Romulus/DTW airport and maybe 3.5-4.0" at Fraser/Mt Clemens, northeast of Detroit.

i'd say it has been pretty active.

A good part of the year so far, even though we're going to have to pay for the string of wet months at some point in the future. Just as expected, the 6th consecutive wet month. Currently at 29.08" for 2025, just less than 20" needed to at least tie the 10th wettest year on record (48.99" in 2018).
