Severe weather risk diminishes in Metro Detroit

Wednesday highs in upper 70s; Thursday highs in lower 60s

Clean-up is already underway after an evening of powerful storms, including tornadoes, which left paths of destruction in Southwest Michigan. In Southeast Michigan, the storms swept across the area with less intensity. The tornado watch for Washtenaw, Lenawee, and Monroe counties was set to expire at 11 p.m. Thursday, and the low risk of severe weather was forecast to end. Showers and a few thunderstorms will be possible even after the severe threat ends, but most of the activity will be over by midnight. Once showers end, we will be left with partly cloudy skies with lows in the mid to upper 50s. Wednesday, it will be dry and warmer. Skies will be partly cloudy to mostly sunny with help from a high-pressure system. Highs will be in the upper 70s to 80 degrees. Clouds will increase at night as temperatures fall to the lower to mid 50s. Cooler air will flow into the area on Thursday, which will lead to daytime temperatures peaking in the lower to mid 60s. Lows will be in the mid to upper 40s. Friday will bring a mix of sun and clouds. Highs will be in the lower to mid 60s. Lows will be in the lower to mid 40s. It will be mostly cloudy with a chance of showers on Saturday. Expect highs in the mid 60s and lows in the upper 40s to 50 degrees. Mother’s Day will be a few degrees milder with highs in the mid to upper 60s. It will mainly be partly cloudy, but a stray shower will be possible. (WDIV)
