DETROIT – Happy Friday!
We will battle some high cirrus clouds -- which are debris clouds from a big complex of storms in the middle of the country -- that will filter some of our sunshine. You can expect some periods of sunshine, but really only partly sunny most of the day into the afternoon.
Highs will be around 85°F and lighter winds moving SW will switch to WNW later, and move at 5-12 mph.
A few stray showers are possible with an approaching cold front this afternoon, but none of it looks severe. Again, most of us won’t see any shower activity later today, and the Local4Casters weather app has active radar to help guide you if you do have afternoon plans outdoors.
Today’s sunset is at 8:37 p.m.
Finally, a beautiful weekend
After the crazy weather week, we deserve a great weekend -- and that’s exactly what we’re going to get.
You can open up those windows Friday night, as our lows will dip into the 50s to near 60°F overnight as the humidity gets stripped way down. Highs Saturday will hit the upper 70s to low 80s, with mostly sunshine and a few afternoon clouds. Sunday is almost identical, but may be a degree or two cooler with a wind off of the big lakes moving ENE at 5-10mph.
Next week preview
It will slowly warm back up into the low-to-mid 80s early next week, and it will be dry Monday and most of Tuesday.
Tropical Depression/Storm Fred will bring some remnant moisture in the form of wonderful summer showers late Tuesday and Wednesday. These won’t be the intense storms bringing several inches. Instead, they will have a slower and more steady kind of rain, which is good for the grass and garden, late Tuesday and most of Wednesday. Temps those days will be in the 70s to low 80s.
Computer model data hints at a few showers hanging on early Thursday before we start to dry out.
