A thin line of showers and thunderstorms will race through downtown Royal Oak Saturday evening. The wet weather with heavy downpours and gusty winds will arrive around 8pm and go on and off between 60 and 90 minutes. Lightning will also be a factor so families will need to stay near study structures to duck into when they hear the first clap of thunder. It remains warm and humid with temperatures near 80 degrees.
