The pleasant weather will continue this weekend.
Saturday night will be mostly clear, which will give some communities of Southeast Michigan the chance to see the northern lights. Lows will be near 60 degrees in Detroit, upper 50s in Brighton, Ann Arbor, Flint, and Sterling Heights. Lows will fall down into the mid 50s in the Thumb. Winds will be out of the southeast at 5 to 10 mph with gusts up to 20 mph.
Northern Lights
The best chance for viewing the aurora borealis, also known as the northern Lights, will be between 10 p.m. and 2 a.m., while looking toward the north and positioned away from city lights. The geomagnetic storm is forecast to be strong enough for the northern lights to be visible as far south as Ohio.

In Southeast Michigan, a gale warning is in effect for the waters of Lake Huron from Port Sanilac and northward until 10 a.m. Sunday. A small craft advisory will be in effect during the same period from Port Sanilac to Port Huron.
