DETROIT – Good Thursday morning!
Aside from a small handful of showers that popped up Wednesday afternoon, most of us enjoyed another fine Pure Michigan summer day, and we’ll do it all over again today -- though we still have a small shower chance.
Today’s sunrise was at 6:31 a.m.
Highs today will reach the mid 80s. A very light wind from the south moving at 3-6 mph means that, once again, lake breezes will develop, so it’ll be a little cooler near lakes Erie, St. Clair and Huron. If you are heading out early this morning, be aware of a few patches of denser fog -- but that will burn off by 10 a.m.
Today’s sunset is at 8:47 p.m.
It will become mostly clear Thursday night, with lows in the mid 60s … still relatively comfortable sleeping weather.
Cloudy Friday
Friday will be partly cloudy to start, then perhaps will become mostly cloudy in the afternoon. Highs will be in the mid 80s, and I cannot rule out an evening shower or thunderstorm.
Scattered showers and thunderstorms are possible Friday night, with lows creeping into the upper 60s -- indicative of increasing humidity.
Humid, maybe rainy, weekend
You’ll definitely notice the humidity’s return this weekend, which also means a more unstable atmosphere.
At this point, I think there’s a better chance to see scattered showers and thunderstorms pop up Saturday than on Sunday. In fact, it’s possible that most of us will have a dry day on Sunday.
Highs Saturday will reach the mid 80s, then rise into the upper 80s on Sunday.
If you don’t have air conditioning, get ready for some suffering, as we should stay in the tropical air mass well into next week: Highs will be near, or even a little above, 90 degrees through Wednesday, with overnight lows in the low 70s.
