S.E. MICHIGAN FORECAST

As I write this, Hurricane Ian is making its second landfall in two days, with the South Carolina coast bearing the brunt. As the storm progresses up the east coast, we’ll be on the fringe of its moisture shield, so expect our mostly clear skies Friday evening to become partly cloudy on Saturday.

It’s been another cool day with showers in the area, most numerous across the northern half of the area, with just scattered showers across the southern half.

It’s going to be a muggy end to the work week.

Monday (May 30) starts two days of hotter than average weather; We will have sunshine and temperatures approaching Recker territory. The weather will be favorable for holiday parades and commemorations.

Tuesday (May 10) feels and looks like summer the rest of the afternoon and this evening. Clouds increase Tuesday night with a slight chance of wet and stormy weather to our west; Wednesday and the rest of the week will be just as warm or warmer with sunshine returning. There is a better chance of showers and storms this weekend.

The rain we woke up to this morning moved out right on schedule, and abundant sunshine graced our skies this afternoon. Yes, it was breezy with 25 to 30-mph gusts (also right on schedule), but those breezes didn’t feel all that bad with temperatures that soared into the (16 to 17 degrees Celsius).

Tuesday (April 12) night will have increasing clouds as a frontal system approaches. Showers and thunderstorms are possible tomorrow, and some may become severe. Tonight becomes cloudy or with a warm front on the way. A scattered sprinkle or light showers is possible, but most neighborhoods will be dry.

We have spectacular weather today with sunshine and warmth. Tonight’s weather will be calm as well. But the weather can turn on a dime in Detroit in Southeast Michigan. Showers, thunderstorms, and severe weather are possible tomorrow through the morning afterward.

The Local 4Casters are tracking the possibility of severe weather Wednesday in Metro Detroit.

Scattered strong-to-severe thunderstorms have developed south of a warm front this afternoon in Indiana and Ohio, and they’re headed our way. The key to those storms maintaining their severity as they move into Michigan will be how far north that warm front makes it because we will not see severe weather north of the front. Right now, I think the front will potentially cross the state line into Lenawee and southwest Monroe counties, so that’s where the best chance is for marginally severe wind gusts and marginally severe hail into the evening hours.
