We expect clouds to come back prior to sunrise on Friday. NASA detected a solar eruption Monday and issued a Geomagnetic Storm Watch for Wednesday through Friday (how 2020 is that?).

DETROIT – Clouds aren’t budging, keeping cool conditions in our corner of the state, but we spot some changes ahead and they’re just in time for the weekend. Last Gray DayExpect clouds to remain through most of tonight, then start to break up close to sunrise on Friday morning. But as we transition to a brighter, milder forecast, that main rain axis that has been residing in northern Lower Michigan will slowly sink south, bringing light scattered showers back to the forecast tonight. There may still be a few drops around in the South Zone as we start Friday morning. Clouds will return in the afternoon, but the should be mixed up with the sun, not solid overcast.

Well stay below normal both Thursday and Friday with highs in the low 70s. Weekend RainIf youre going to deal with rain on the weekend, squeezing into the non-daylight hours is the best you can hope for. But the majority of Sunday will remain dry. Settling InNext week seems to find the equilibrium between our two extremes this week. And it looks well stay dry through Friday at least.

Lots of clouds, cool temperatures and hit-and-miss rain chances abound. Rain amounts should be light, especially compared to what we picked up over the long weekend (2 inches plus in some spots!). Even though temperatures will be within a few degrees of normal, the persistent cloud cover and light rain chances will make it feel cooler. Weekend temperatures will be slightly warmer but fall short of 80 degrees, before we cool below normal again early next week. Outside of that, we should get at least some sunshine, with our warmest temperatures of the forecast, highs in the mid-to-upper 80s.

Showers and storms return overnight and for the first part of Tuesday. Daytime temps reach the low 70s. Friday will be bright and feel like fall with highs in the low 70s. Saturday will be warmer with highs in the middle and upper 70s under partly cloudy skies. Sunday has a chance of showers with highs in the low 70s.

This evening and tonight will be warm to mild and comfortable, again. The weekend will be warm with showers and thunderstorms thrown back into the mix. Saturday will be partly sunny warm. Afternoon temps will be in the low 80s. Itll be more comfortable as well with daytime temperatures in the upper 70s and low 80s each day.
