DETROIT – Welcome to Saturday, Motown.
This afternoon becomes warmer, but clouds gather. Showers and storms will dot the landscape as early as mid-afternoon, then become more widespread. It will be mild and wet tonight. We’ll be on the cooler side of the storm system, tomorrow.
Saturday afternoon will be partly sunny to mostly cloudy. Despite the clouds, a southerly wind will make it feel like summer. Highs will be in the low and middle 70s. Scattered showers pop up between 2 p.m. and 5 p.m.
There is a Marginal Risk of strong to severe storms with heavier rain, gusty winds and frequent lightning south of I-94 in Lenawee and Monroe counties, especially.
A separate area of low pressure brings showers and thunderstorms rotating through the region. Heavy downpours and lightning are possible, especially around dinnertime at 5 p.m. and afterward. Temperatures will be in the upper 60s.
