4Warn Weather – Good Wednesday morning!
After we ended Tuesday with plenty of sunshine across the region, we will continue to have dry and sunny weather in the middle of our week.
Expect lots of sunshine throughout our Wednesday, and that also starts a warming trend that we’ve been looking for, as high pressure pulls off to the east of the region. High temperatures will be in the lower 40s by Wednesday afternoon.
Rain moves in Thursday
As we work into Thursday, expect the clouds to move back into the region ahead of an approaching low-pressure system.
Rain showers will move in as we go throughout the late afternoon and into the evening hours. High temperatures will get even warmer, reaching the upper 40s and lower 50s by Thursday afternoon.
Wednesday, Thursday overview
Wednesday: Mostly sunny skies. High: 43. Winds: Southwest 5-10 mph.
Wednesday night: Increasing clouds, skies becoming mostly cloudy. Low: 33. Winds: Southwest 5-15 mph.
Thursday: Cloudy skies. Rain likely in the afternoon and evening. Breezy winds anticipated. High: 50. Winds: Southwest 10-20 mph with gusts as high as 25 mph.
Thursday night: Cloudy skies. Rain likely. Breezy winds anticipated. Low: 42. Winds: South 5-15 mph with gusts as high as 25 mph.
Rain continues Friday
As that low pressure system works off to the east, we will continue to see rain into Friday afternoon.
Breezy winds will also be sticking around throughout the day on Friday. High temperatures will once again head for right around that 50-degree mark by Friday afternoon.
The region could see about three quarters of an inch to an inch of rain by Friday afternoon, but that shouldn’t create any flooding concerns.
Snow chances Saturday
Once that low pressure system pulls off to the east, we’ll see colder air in the region for the first half of next weekend. Behind that cold front, there’s a chance for some snow showers on Saturday.
High temperatures will drop into the mid- and upper 30s by Saturday afternoon.
Drier Sunday, Monday
Drier weather begins to move into the region Sunday and into early next week. Skies will be partly cloudy both Sunday and Monday.
High temperatures will warm out of the 30s on Sunday and into the 40s on Monday, which is the first day of spring!
Uncertain forecast for next Tuesday
Working into next Tuesday, the computer models are split on our forecast. One model is showing Metro Detroit being clipped by a decent system that would be a major winter storm for the Ohio Valley. Another model keeps us on the dry side of things.
For right now, we will keep the forecast dry with a little more cloud cover moving into the region next Tuesday. High temperatures will be in the middle 40s.
