4Warn Weather – Welcome to Thursday!
Expect drier and warmer weather throughout the day today.
A warm front lifting north into the region will send our high temperatures well above average, into the mid-70s. However, the latest computer model guidance is not pushing the warm front as far north as we originally expected -- so high temps won’t get as warm as we initially forecast for today.
Our more southern counties will be warmer than the metro are today, as the warm front stalls across Southeast Michigan. More southern counties could reach the upper 70s, while more northern counties could see 60s for highs.
We’ll see a mixture of sun and clouds through the day.
Rain showers early Friday
Rain showers will move in overnight Thursday into Friday as a cold front moves in.
Expect Friday temperatures to fall through the morning hours. Temps will stay in the 50s for much of the day, before falling in the evening.
Rain showers will be on-and-off throughout the day Friday, and should clear out by the afternoon/evening.
More rain Saturday
A secondary area of low pressure will develop, and ride along the cold front before moving into Michigan this weekend. This is going to keep the cloud cover and chances for rain showers in the forecast for the majority of the weekend -- but it shouldn’t be a complete washout.
Saturday morning will have decent rain chances before showers become more scattered throughout the rest of the day. Rain should clear up for most by the evening.
Highs will be in the 50s.
Sunday rain chances
Scattered showers are possible Sunday, with highs in the 40s. Showers are likely in the early morning hours of Sunday, especially for those in more northern Metro Detroit counties.
Cooler temps continue next week
High pressure will build into the region for the beginning of next week, so except some sunshine and clouds. The trend for below-average temperatures will continue, as well.
High temperatures in the lower 50s on Monday will warm into the upper 50s for Tuesday and Wednesday. Keep in mind, our average daytime high temperature is in the low 60s, so we’re running a few degrees below average.
The Climate Prediction Center’s 8 to 14 day temperature outlook that takes us into the beginning of May continues to feature a strong potential for below-average temperatures, so it looks like this trend will continue for at least the next few weeks.
