Metro Detroit weather: Cloudy Saturday afternoon with rain possible tonight and Sunday

Highs in the middle 70s

DETROIT – Saturday will feature a gradual thickening and increase in clouds during the afternoon.  By this evening, we’ll be mostly cloudy.  Highs in the mid 70s (23 to 24 degrees Celsius) are only slightly below average this time of year.  Wind from the east-northeast at 5 to 10 mph means that it’ll be a cooler near Lakes Erie and Huron.
