Seasonal conditions before weekend rain, storm chances arrive in Metro Detroit

Shower chances begin Friday

DetroitGood Thursday!

Our day starts cloudy and mild, and will remain seasonal throughout the day. A sprinkle or two were possible to our south this morning, but it doesn’t look like the area is getting any moisture.

Expect more clouds than sun today. Clouds will increase from south to north during the afternoon.

Temperatures will top out in the upper 70s. Winds will be a bit breezy into the afternoon, with gusts around 20 mph out of the east.

Tonight’s sunset is at 9:13 p.m.

Skies will stay cloudy Thursday night with lows in the low 60s.

Scattered showers Friday

We will likely see some rain creep into our southern counties Friday morning at around 9 a.m. Other areas may see a spotty shower or two, then, as well.

As we reach the afternoon, we’ll see some scattered shower chances across Metro Detroit.

Temperatures will trend a little cooler, topping out in the mid-70s.

Slight shower, storm chances this weekend

Our Saturday will begin with drier conditions. However, there is a slight chance for a late shower or storm Saturday.

There is also a slight chance for a late shower or storm on Sunday -- but certainly don’t let that change your outdoor plans this weekend.

Highs will be in the 80s on both days.

More rain coming Monday

A better chance of rain will arrive on Monday, as an upper-level low pressure system pushes through our region. The system will bring rain chances throughout Monday and Tuesday, and we could receive about an inch of rainfall across both days.

None of this is promising for the Ford Fireworks scheduled for Monday night in Downtown Detroit!
