High pressure continues to bring dry and summer-like weather to Metro Detroit.

Good Thursday morning on a day that becomes the transition from Summer to Fall. It is cooling down right on schedule with Metro Detroit temperatures dipping down into the lower and middle 50s. It was a big cold front that brought the storms yesterday, but we are finally feeling the cooler air today. We have quite a bit of cloud cover coming and going without any rain or fog as you head out and about to get going into what some consider to be Michigan’s finest season. It’s sweatshirt or light jacket weather for that early morning walk with the dog and today may be the first day of pants instead of shorts at school. We will struggle to warm with a gusty and cooler breeze.

September is the beginning of Meteorological Fall because breaking seasons down into three specific months make it easier to keep weather and climate records. The Autumnal Equinox is still three weeks away which means we are not officially done with summer yet. It feels every bit like a late summer morning out there with Metro Detroit temps in the upper 50s to low 60s on this Thursday under mostly clear skies and dry conditions if you’re heading out for a light morning jog or heading into the old workplace.

Today’s scattered showers are just an appetizer for the main course of heavy rain to come to Detroit and southeast Michigan from tonight through Thursday.

It is the final Friday of Summer 2021. Before fall begins, Friday afternoon is warm and more humid. Temperatures remain above average overnight, this weekend and early next week. Fore fall-like weather arrives, appropriately after the autumnal equinox.

Here is the weather forecast for Metro Detroit.

There are many legends that go along with it, including that you can balance an egg on its end at the exact moment of the equinox. Steve Garagiola found a myth that because of a unique gravitational influence of the sun, it’s possible to balance an egg on its end at the exact moment of the equinox. That exact moment was Tuesday at 9:31 a.m. Eastern Time. Mike Narlock, of the Cranbrook Institute of Science, said there’s nothing unique about the equinox in regard to balancing an egg. You can watch Steve Garagiola’s full experiment in the video posted above.

As we await Fall’s arrival, we have mostly clear skies with cool and calm conditions again around Metro Detroit.
