Weather: High 80°, Low 63°
Hey guess what: there's rain in today's forecast. Surprise! 🌧️ 😒 Try not to act surprised.
The good news is the temperatures are rising -- we're looking at 80 degrees this afternoon -- so we're not talking about a cold rain here. This is more like a summer rain, which makes more sense in JUNE (!).
Stay on top of the radar here for your afternoon and evening outdoor activities, or just get the Local 4Casters app if you have not already (iOS or Android).

Traffic: Double lane closure on I-94 🚧
Watch out for a double lane closure this morning -- and the rest of this week -- on westbound and eastbound I-94 between 2nd Avenue and Wyoming Avenue. The left two lanes are expected to be closed for construction.
That could slow down some commutes, so be aware of this before you embark.
Always check the live Traffic Map here.

Juneteenth Celebration Day is today 📜
Governor Gretchen Whitmer recently signed a proclamation making June 19 the Juneteenth Celebration Day.
