DETROIT – Good Wednesday morning!
Tuesday’s high of 83 degrees came within one degree of the record high of 84 degrees that was set in 2009. We were close! And now, the party is over for some of us as a cold front is draped across our northern suburbs.
The cold front is moving slowly, so I’ll have to keep the chance for a scattered shower or thunderstorm in the forecast, especially across the southern half of the region. But not everybody will necessarily see rain today. I strongly urge you to keep an eye on our free app’s real-time radar if you have outdoor plans.
Wednesday’s sunrise was at 6:33 a.m.
High temperatures Wednesday will range from the upper 70s across the south to low 70s in the north -- and perhaps only in the mid to upper 60s over the northern half of the Thumb.
Wind will shift to the northwest behind the cold front and will increase to 10 to 20 mph by Wednesday afternoon.
Wednesday’s sunset is at 8:30 p.m.
After an early evening break, showers redevelop Wednesday night. Lows will be in the mid 40s to near 50 degrees.
Showers are likely on Thursday (this will be much-needed rain) with cooler highs in the low 60s. Those showers will end Thursday night, with lows in the low to mid 40s.
Friday will be mostly sunny, but it’ll be a cooler and windy day with highs in the upper 50s. It will be mostly clear Friday night, with lows in the mid 30s. Frost is possible in our typically coldest rural areas.
Weekend forecast
Saturday will be mostly sunny to partly cloudy, with highs rebounding into the mid to upper 60s.
And if you like Saturday’s rebound, then you’ll love Sunday’s: Highs soar back into the mid to upper 70s on Sunday, although we’ll likely see more clouds on Sunday than on Saturday. At this point, Sunday looks like it will also remain dry.
