DETROIT – Good Thursday morning!
Clouds will keep temps from taking a deep dive this morning, so they are starting in the low-to-mid 30s as you head out, and the winds are very light.

We may still see a few raindrops and/or snowflakes this morning, but most of us won’t see much moisture throughout the morning as we bundle up for another chilly day.
Today’s sunrise is at 8:10 a.m.
Skies will stay mostly cloudy or partly sunny Thursday, with an isolated and light shower chance as winds continue to drag across the Great Lakes.
Highs today, like yesterday, will only make it into the mid 40s with fairly light winds moving WNW to WSW at 5-10 mph. Today should be the last day this week where we struggle to see sunshine and warmer temps.
The air over the Great Lakes region is on the dry side, which limits the chances for pesky rain and snow showers. However, the lake effect will continue to throw minimal moisture our way this afternoon in the form of an isolated raindrop or snowflake.
Today’s sunset is at 6:23 p.m.
Friday will bring the promise of sunshine and warmer temps to Metro Detroit and into Southern Ontario.
As skies clear overnight Thursday, our temps will tumble into the upper 20s to near 30 degrees Friday morning. Then, we will see mostly sunny skies and highs near 50 degrees Friday, with winds moving SSW at 5-10 mph.
weekend
Warmer winds will crank this weekend, which means our highs will rise little by little on Saturday and Sunday.
We will have a nice balance of sun and clouds, cool mornings and warmer afternoons all the way through the weekend. Highs will hit the mid 50s Saturday, and will be in the 60-degree range on Sunday.
Next week preview
We will hang on to above average highs early next week, with low 60s a good bet on Monday under mostly sunny skies and a pesky breeze moving SW at 10-17 mph.
Tuesday will be a bit more cloudy, slightly cooler in the upper 50s and still dry. We may see a few showers showing up Tuesday night and Wednesday morning, followed by a similar shower chance late Wednesday into Thursday next week.
