TODAY IN SOUTHEAST MICHIGAN WEATHER HISTORY: On June 17, 2009, three to six inches of rain fell in and around the I 69 corridor during the daytime hours including 3.46 inches at Flint. That made it the 2nd wettest June day and 9th wettest day all-time for Flint. This amount of rain, coupled with the wet spring, lead to flooding across a few counties. Road closures and basement flooding were common. On June 17, 1992, 10 tornadoes touched down in Southeast Lower Michigan as a squall line ripped across the region. All of the tornadoes were rated F0 and F1. Temperatures ahead of the squall line soared into the 90s which was one of only three such days during the cold summer of 1992. Also on this date in 1935, the record for the greatest amount of precipitation for the month of June in Saginaw was reached, with a rainfall estimate of 2.98 inches.
