Message from Kim DeGiulio: Hey there!
Hope you all had a great Memorial Day weekend. All week we’ve been gearing up for the big race this weekend on Belle Isle. I can’t wait! I’m going to be covering the Grand Prix on Saturday and producing digital content for the web. Tomorrow we’re going to have a NTT Indycar series driver on the show to talk about the race so make sure to tune in for that.

I’m also looking forward to my Back to Basics segment tomorrow. We get advice from a local clothing specialist about what men should wear to weddings based on what the invitation says. It seems like I’m in that phase of my life where we have a wedding pretty much every weekend of the summer. I’m excited for my husband to watch the segment so he can be a pro at dressing for these weddings! I’m going to make my dad watch it too!
Here's what's coming up Thursday, May 30th, 2019 on Local 4 News Today:

All Morning -- Weather & Traffic
Brandon: Thursday brings yet another storm chance here to SE Lower Michigan and Southern Ontario starting mid morning. Those showers could produce some heavy downpours and lightning just after the morning drive tomorrow. At least that’s how it times out right now, and scattered rain and thunder will keep coming at us through the afternoon hours too as highs hit those upper 60s and low 70s with winds SW 5-10 mph. Here comes the sun Friday and this will be the start of a pretty nice stretch moving forward with highs bouncing back into the low and mid 70s.
- You can get the full forecast here.
Also , our Kim DeGiulio will show us what we'll face when we hit the road.
