Metro Detroit weather: Rain returns Sunday with lower than average temperatures

Highs below 70 degrees most of day

DETROIT – Welcome to Sunday, Motown.

After two straight days of sunshine, comfortable humidity and dry conditions, rain returns today.

Soggy conditions develop in our south zone first then spread to Detroit and areas north of 8 Mile Road next.

Afterward, we are in for another more tonight before the heat and humidity rises and periodic showers and thunderstorms become a pattern again the rest of this week.

Rain showers and a few thunderstorms overtake Ann Arbor and the rest of southeast Michigan by Sunday afternoon. With overcast skies and winds out of the east 5 to 10 mph, temperatures will only be around 70°F or a bit more; 10 to 15° below average.

Sunday evening we have scattered rain showers. Temperatures will be near 70°F.

Sunset is at 9:10 p.m.

By midnight, up to a half inch of rain will fall north of 8 mile and half inch to an inch of rain as possible south of 8 mile where the precipitation started falling first.

Sunday night will be cloudy and mild. Overnight lows will be in the middle and upper 60s.

Monday will be much warmer and much more humid. It will feel like summer with highs in the low 80s. Skies will be partly sunny with scattered showers and thunderstorms likely.
