Message from Kim DeGiulio: Hey everyone! Hope you’re all having a great week. My week just got a lot better when I saw that Brandon has removed a lot of the shower chances for the weekend. Memorial Day weekend is my favorite because it’s the unofficial start to summer! My husband and I are already thinking about our weekend plans even though it’s only Wednesday. We’re thinking about going biking down the Dequindre Cut. If you haven’t been on a Dequindre Cut yet, it’s a must when you’re here in the city. I think we’re going to try and go to a new restaurant on Friday too. If you’ve got any good recommendations for us, send me an e-mail at kdegiulio@wdiv.com. Also - don't forget your red nose Thursday (more on that in a bit).

Here's what's coming up Thursday, May 23rd, 2019 on Local 4 News Today:
- Watch beginning at 4:30 a.m.
All Morning -- 🌧️ Weather & 🚥Traffic
Brandon: There's a good chance for a quick rain and thunderstorm Thursday morning and like Wednesday, it will get better after those showers. The timeframe is mid morning through lunch and then partly sunny skies become mostly sunny as highs then take aim at 80°F or warmer. The winds will be cranking again Thursday SSW 10-25 mph helping to boost our warm up. Friday looks like a partly cloudy and dry day with slightly cooler temps in the upper 60s and low 70s and then a chance for rain (Mainly North Zone) Friday Night.
You can get that forecast here.
Kim DeGiulio will be updating you on the latest construction projects, closures, detours and everything in between.
All Morning -- 🔴 Red Nose Day
If you see people walking with red noses Thursday, they may be getting primed for "Red Nose Day." The effort raises money to help lift children out of poverty around the world. The red nose concept started in the UK where it's generated more than a billion dollars since 1985 in annual telethons. We'll show you how you can help the cause.
