4Warn Weather – Good Thursday morning!
Thursday will be a lot like Wednesday with sunshine, unseasonably warm temps and breezy winds.
Thanks to high pressure controlling the forecast, our high temperatures will rise to around 80 degrees this afternoon. We will see winds slack off a little bit as we head into the afternoon. Gusts should be around 20-25 mph.
We’ll have mainly clear skies overnight into Friday. It will be another mild night, as we’ll drop back into the lower and middle 50s.
Sunny Friday
Our sunshine will continue to end the work week Friday.
The high pressure will also continue to control the forecast -- though, that “blocking” pattern in the upper atmosphere, which has been driving our dry weather and warm temps, will start to break down Friday.
Highs Friday afternoon will still be warm, reaching the upper 70s to around 80 degrees.
Reality check this weekend
Big changes in the weather will arrive this weekend and into early next week. Keep in mind, our average high temperature for this time in April is in the mid- to upper 50s.
Rain showers and breezy winds are expected Saturday night into Sunday. A strong cold front will move into the region on Sunday.
As low pressure moves eastward, it’ll drag colder air from Canada into Metro Detroit, sending our temps down into the upper 40s on Monday, and the lower 50s on Tuesday. Showers expected at the beginning of the week could also see a few snowflakes mixed in, due to the colder temps.
Drier weather will return by the middle of next week, when we’ll see more sunshine and high temps back in the middle 50s.
