4Warn Weather – Thursday begins mild and slightly muggier, with temps mostly in the 60s. It’ll be a bit warmer in Detroit, and a bit cooler in Ann Arbor.
We’re holding on to summer on this “Friday Eve.”
We will start our Thursday with plenty of sunshine. Clouds will increase this afternoon, but overall, it will be a great pool day for most around Metro Detroit. Highs will be in the upper 80s.
An isolated severe thunderstorm is possible however, mainly after 6 p.m. in the northern part of our region -- from the I-69 corridor to Port Huron. Damaging wind gusts are the primary threat, with hail near 1 inch also possible. These will be scattered cells moving northwest to southeast at 25 mph.
The rest of us should remain dry.
Tonight’s sunset is at 8:50 p.m.
Skies will be partly cloudy tonight, but on the warm side with lows in the upper 60s.
Sunshine with some rain ahead
Friday will be mostly sunny with temperatures a few degrees above average, topping out in the mid-80s.
Overall the weekend is shaping up to be dry during the daytime hours.
Skies will be partly sunny on Saturday with seasonal highs in the low 80s.
We’ll see more clouds than sun on Sunday, with a chance for an afternoon shower. However, I think it’s much more likely after sunset Sunday.
We’ll have more widespread rain chances to start the new work week. Expect to grab the umbrella on Monday, and it will be breezy too.
Elsewhere ...
Nationally, widespread thunderstorms may produce flash flooding across the mid-Mississippi Valley. Heavy rain and flash flooding threats are also expected across portions of the Southeast, Northeast, and High Plains. Dangerous to record breaking heat will expand across the South and Southwest.
