Good morning, Kalamazoo.

The Rotary Club of Kalamazoo will host its third annual river cleanup on Saturday, June 20 from 10 a.m. to noon across parks in Kalamazoo, Comstock and Parchment, with paddlers having an 8:30 a.m. start and an afterparty with live music, food and activities planned at Mayors Riverfront Park.

April brought the wettest month on record to Kalamazoo (8.48 inches) while May saw only 1.33 inches, marking a stark shift in rainfall; meteorologists say blocked storm systems will lead to moderate rain later in June.
