DETROIT – After a grungy start to our Sunday, the clouds parted right on schedule, and we finished the day with brilliant sunshine.
Clear skies, calm air, and dry air overnight is perfect for radiational cooling, and we’ll see temps crash to near 30 degrees (-1 degree Celsius) in our Urban Heat Island, and in the mid to upper 20s (-3 to -2 degrees Celsius) in rural areas.
Tonight’s sunset is at 8:04 p.m., and Monday’s sunrise is at 7:07 a.m.

Scattered showers and thunderstorms are possible Tuesday night, with lows in the low 50s (11 degrees Celsius).
Becoming partly cloudy on Wednesday, with highs reaching the mid 60s (19 degrees Celsius). Wish our Jewish friends a joyous Passover, which begins Wednesday evening! It’s just too bad that coronavirus will prevent us from attending our traditional family Seders.
