Showers, potentially severe storms move into Metro Detroit this weekend: What to expect

Warm temps, sunshine continue Saturday before switch to wet weather

4Warn WeatherWelcome to the weekend!

It was a record-setting day across Southeastern Michigan on Friday. With all the sunshine and unseasonably warm temperatures, we set a record high of 82 degrees, breaking the old record high by one degree. And we’ve got more warm weather on the way to start the weekend.

With high pressure moving south and east of us, we’ll stay on the warm side of the forecast Saturday with sunshine and a few clouds throughout the day. High temperatures will reach the lower 80s once again, but we won’t be setting any records.

We may see an isolated shower this afternoon or evening somewhere in the area, but I think the chance of it is so low, that I am not including it in the forecast at this point.

Bigger changes move into the region for the end of the weekend and early next week.

Showers, storms come Sunday

A strong cold front will bring us a “reality check” late Sunday and into Monday.

While we start out dry on Sunday, showers and thunderstorms will develop and move into the region with the cold front.

The Storm Prediction Center has placed us under a marginal risk (the lowest of five risk levels) for severe weather Sunday. We cannot rule out a few stronger thunderstorms with gusty winds and heavy downpours.

High temperatures will still be warm, making it into the 70s on Sunday.

Colder temps, snow move in Monday

Once the cold front rolls through, we’ll have rain showers Monday that’ll turn into a few snowflakes late Monday. Winds will be breezy.

The low pressure center will move east and drag in some colder air from Canada. High temperatures will only make it into the 40s on Monday, which is below average for this time in April.

Skies will remain cloudy Tuesday, but we’ll start warming up again still. Highs will be in the 50s by Tuesday afternoon.

Sunshine returns Wednesday

We’ll have more sunshine on Wednesday. Highs will also rise into the 60s.

Our next rain chances will arrive Thursday and last into Friday next week.
