Happy Mother’s Day and welcome to Sunday, Motown.
Rain showers gradually spread across much of the region today. Then it becomes drier and colder overnight. Sunshine returns tomorrow and Tuesday with slightly higher temps. It will feel more like spring by the end of this week.
Sunday afternoon will be cloudy and chilly. Clouds lower and thicken as the minutes and hours move forward. Rain will pick up in intensity but be light when compared to the downpours and thunderstorms south of the Michigan border (in Indiana, Ohio and the Ohio Valley).

The Tigers will have a tough time playing baseball (if there is a game) with rainy, chilly conditions Sunday afternoon.
