Metro Detroit weather forecast: Rainfall deficit gets worse across SE Michigan

DETROIT – Our rainfall deficit is getting worse across southeast Michigan, but the weekend opportunities to get wet are looking better. The good news is areas that are in a moderate drought didn’t get any worse. We’re fairly confident that the higher rainfall totals will be in the South Zone and up the east side. Here’s some bonus good news: some models are suggesting we may keep rain chances around into Tuesday as well! Believe it or not, we could actually have more than one day next week with highs below 80!

Not So Calm After The Storm, June 11, 2020, noon updatePublished: June 11, 2020, 12:18 pmYesterday's storms knocked out power to nearly 400,000 customers, but those storms are thankfully well off to our east, with a cooler, drier air mass moving in. The day ahead will feature partial cloud cover early this morning, followed by mostly sunny skies for the balance of the day. It'll be a windy day, though, with west winds at 15 to 25 mph, with gusts over 30 mph possible. These winds have prompted a Lakeshore Flood Warning for the Harsens Island / Algonac area. Highs today will reach the mid to upper 70s, but even cooler air is headed this way for the weekend.

DETROIT As cleanup continues from Wednesday's powerful storms, we get to enjoy a pleasant and cool stretch into early next week, before the heat ramps up again leading to summer's official start. Temps DipWalking out the door today was a stark contrast to yesterday's heat and humidity. Metro Airport officially recorded only 0.19" yesterday, so we're still more than an inch behind normal for the month. And after this cool snap over the weekend, temperatures will soar back to the upper 80s by Wednesday. Humidity will come back with it, but it wont be as tropical as what Cristobal brought us yesterday.
