DETROIT – Be sure to use the Local4Casters app to track a shower or two that may get in your way later this morning.
Thursday won’t be a washout, but we will see a couple rounds of rain and thundershowers after the morning commute and later in the afternoon.
Showers and storms will be scattered Thursday afternoon. Winds will be light, moving S at 5-10 mph and becoming a little gusty around any showers and storms that form.
Today’s sunset is at 6:53 p.m.
Friday won’t be a complete washout either, but the afternoon and evening will be very dicey for all of Metro Detroit. The good news: Our severe weather threat for Friday seems to be fading.
The Storm Prediction Center had placed most of Metro Detroit in a “marginal risk” category for severe weather Friday afternoon, but that entire risk area has shifted south into Ohio. The main threats around here tomorrow afternoon and evening will be soaking downpours with dangerous lightning, and gusty -- possibly damaging -- winds. We will keep you up to speed online and on Local 4 News as we get closer.
Drier weekend
The showers from Friday will linger into the first half of Saturday. Cooler air will start to pour into SE Lower Michigan and Southern Ontario, keeping temps mainly in the 50s all day with improving conditions in the afternoon.
Sunday will be bright and chilly. Morning lows will be in the 40s and highs will barely reach the low 60s.
We’ll be in the sun with temps in the 60s for the first half of next week.
