Mild weather, warmer temps before rain chances ramp up Friday in Metro Detroit

Slight rain chances Wednesday, Thursday for some

4Warn Weather – Welcome to Wednesday!

We have fair skies this morning as we wake up to temperatures back in the 30s, and possibly the upper 20s in some outlying areas. Plan for sunshine to start the day with closer-to-average temperatures this afternoon.

Clouds will increase around the lunch hour. Highs will top out in the upper 50s, so it’s a bit of an improvement from the last two days, when temperatures wouldn’t rise above 50.

Winds will be noticeably lighter, moving out of the northeast at around 5-10 mph.

There will be a wave of showers passing through this evening, though most of it will stay north into the Thumb. Still, our northern counties could get brushed with a quick passing shower tonight after sunset.

Tonight’s sunset is at 8:19 p.m.

Near-record highs Thursday

Thursday will be breezy, as well as the warmest day of the week, as a warm front lifts through the region. Highs will be near record, getting close to 80 degrees. The current record stands at 82 degrees.

Rain chances ramp up Friday

Rain will arrive early Friday with an approaching cold front from the west. Highs on Friday will drop into the 60s.

Temps will be below average this weekend, only topping out in the low 50s. Expect widespread, and even heavy, rain for a good chunk of the day on Saturday.
