Early Sunday morning lows will range from 59 to 69 degrees in Southeast Michigan. (WDIV)

Sunday night, it will be partly cloudy with lows in the upper 60s. During the overnight hours, mainly after 2 a.m., scattered showers will begin to move into the area from the west.

Monday

The better chance of showers and thunderstorms will be Monday afternoon with mostly cloudy skies. Atmospheric moisture will fuel storms. Overall conditions will be favorable for some storms to become strong as a cold front sweeps southward. Downpours could cause additional rise of some area creeks and rivers, which are already elevated from Friday’s heavy rain.
