Plenty of sun on the way for Wednesday

DETROIT – A few early morning clouds are keeping temps on the cool but mild side with lows in the upper 20s north and low and mid 30s around Metro Detroit.

But you'll only need a light jacket early today. The sun is busting out this morning and temps will be soaring into the upper 50s to near 60 degrees with variable winds SE/SW 5-10 mph.

Thursday will be warmer, breezy, and stormy with highs near 65-70.

Again, there's a very good chance of scattered showers and storms and some of those storms will bring heavy downpours and lightning. Winds will be warm and gusty through the afternoon and evening SW 10-25 mph gusting over 30 mph.

After Thursday's wet weather, cooler air dives down for Friday and we will be near 50 degrees Friday with a few light showers possible, especially near the Ohio border.

That batch of wet weather may dodge us just to the south but we have not ruled out a turn to the north and a few light midday showers here in SE Michigan Good Friday.

The weekend will be cooler in the upper 40s with clouds and a rain chance on Saturday again. You know… April showers bring May flowers.

Easter should be mostly dry with highs again in the mid to upper 40s and partly sunny skies. We'll let you know about Sunday rain chances as we get closer to those Easter Egg Hunts. Again, right now it doesn't look too threatening.

An early look at Detroit Tigers opening day this Monday calls for mild temps again near 50-55 degrees, but light rain will be in the area. That means mainly 40s downtown in the early afternoon with cool breezes and some drizzle. Again… stay tuned!
