Metro Detroit weather: Scattered, windy afternoon storms possible

More rain Thursday with highs in low 80s

DETROITGood Thursday afternoon!

An approaching cold front will trigger more scattered storms this afternoon, and a few of them (especially southeast of a line from Port Huron through Ann Arbor) could produce strong to severe wind gusts.

But that cold front is also the front edge of a drier air mass, so by the time many of you go to bed Thursday night, you’ll notice the humidity dropping as the drier air oozes in.

Until then, we’ll have sticky highs in the low 80s, with a southwest wind moving at 5 to 10 mph.

Thursday’s sunset is at 9:11 p.m.

Scattered showers Thursday night will be light and not pose any problems. Temperatures will drop into the low 60s by dawn. A northwest wind will move at 5 to 10 mph.

Cloudy Friday

It will be mostly cloudy to start our Friday (some models even have a few showers around early in the day), then it will become partly cloudy during the afternoon. Highs will be in the mid-to-upper 70s.

Friday night will be partly cloudy with lows in the upper 50s.

Weekend forecast

I still think we’ll manage to keep Saturday dry, with partly cloudy skies and highs in the upper 70s. What a delightful summer day, for a change! Clouds will increase Saturday night, with lows creeping back into the mid 60s.

The models still differ on the rain chances and timing for Sunday. Right now, I think it’s prudent to expect at least a chance of light rain by Sunday afternoon, with the best chance being across the southern half of the area. Highs will be in the mid 70s. We’re keeping track of any changes, so stay tuned!
