DETROIT – We are watching showers trying to materialize and hold together ahead of a cool front here in Metro Detroit. So, between now and 4 p.m., scattered rain and isolated thundershowers will be moving through which may slow down some of your errand running.
The showers are scattered which means hit or miss and they should be pushing east as the kids get off of the buses later this afternoon. Highs will stay in the mid 70s with mostly cloudy skies and breezy, or gusty conditions SW 10-20 mph gusting 20-35 mph at times. No severe storms, or violent winds, but your Fall decorations may flop around more than you'd like.
We feel the effects of the cool front later tonight and overnight as temps dip into the mid 50s as we head into early Thursday.

Thursday forecast
Some cloud cover lingering around will keep temps from taking a big dip although, some neighborhoods out west and up north may be flirting with the 40s early tomorrow. Then, it's sunny and breezy all day tomorrow as highs take aim at the low 70s.
That means some parts of our viewing area (especially North Zone) may not get out of the 60s. The winds will be lighter than today but still breezy WSW to WNW 8-18 mph gusting 15-25 mph at times.
Weekend forecast
There is another rain chance coming Friday but models are split on timing of the drips and drops. At least one model calls for scattered afternoon showers, followed by an evening break, and then heavier slugs of rain moving in overnight into Saturday.
Other model data suggests most of the rain and heavier showers will come late, late Friday night into Saturday morning.
