DETROIT – Good Monday morning!
The big area of showers that dealt with this weekend is stalling out near the east coast and throwing some cloud cover back at us. Skies to the west are clearer, but will remain mostly cloudy closer to downtown as we start the week.
There are a few low clouds producing patchy fog and spotty drizzle here and there, especially for east siders into Canada. Temperatures start in the middle 60s with mostly dry conditions for most of Metro Detroit. Grabbing the umbrella is a good idea with more showers possible later today.
Today’s sunrise was at 6:48 a.m.
We should get into a little bit of patchy blue skies to partly sunny skies today. High temperatures will be near 80 degrees this afternoon with a light wind, moving NNW at 5-10 mph.
Rain chances today
This stalled out system on the east coast keeps our shower chances alive during the day today with no real rhyme or reason. Those showers will be moving at us from the east. The areas likely to see more dark skies and showers will be east of I-275 in Metro Detroit and throughout Southern Ontario.
You will see more sunshine the farther west you are.
A couple of weak cool fronts will keep those winds coming from the northwest, and will start to clear our skies by Monday evening and overnight.
Tonight’s sunset is at 8:23 p.m.
Beautiful Tuesday
Tuesday will be a straight up beautiful day with warming temperatures as we hang onto summer.
Tuesday morning lows will reach the upper 50s to low 60s, with some patchy fog around. Look for mostly sunny to partly cloudy skies and highs in the low to middle 80s.
The heat and humidity continue to climb as we head into the midweek for those of you who love the warm and muggy summer weather.
Heat, humidity rise
Wednesday will be another picture-perfect summer day here in Metro Detroit.
We’ll see highs in the middle 80s and just a touch of added humidity on Wednesday. Skies will start bright and sunny, then we’ll have a few afternoon clouds in the heat of the day. And with conditions feeling muggier, we should anticipate those mid-80s to feel closer to 90 degrees.
We will keep you updated on shower chances for Thursday and Friday later this week.
Thursday high temperatures will be in the low-to-mid 80s, feeling a degree or three warmer with the humidity. A quick-moving cold front will sweep through Pure Michigan in the afternoon, bringing some scattered showers and isolated thunderstorms.
Friday appears to be a similar set up with sun and clouds and highs in the low 80s, plus a few afternoon showers.
It’s early, but the weekend ahead looks to be warm and much less active than this past weekend.
