DETROIT – Welcome to Friday night, Motown.

After a long line of heavy rain with gusty winds, showers become more widely scattered before midnight. Afterward, we’ll have a lull with cloudy skies for a time. Then, heavy showers and some thunderstorms arrive from the south and west by dawn and when many of us wake up Saturday morning. Additional showers and thunderstorms develop Saturday afternoon and Sunday. More wet weather is in Southeast Michigan’s forecast much of next week.

So far, the most rain has fallen across eastern Oakland County, northern Macomb County and western St. Clair County. Two to four inches fell in many neighborhoods in this area; some places received more than four inches.
