Metro Detroit weather: Sunnier and warmer relief Saturday afternoon

Highs in the middle to upper 70s

DETROIT – Welcome to Saturday afternoon, Motown.

Relief continues to pour in this afternoon in the form of sunnier skies and higher temps on the thermometer.

Tonight will be dry and cooler. Tomorrow will be even warmer and thus more conducive for people and families recovering from flooding in Detroit and southeast Michigan.

The Detroit Tigers play one of Friday’s double-header make-up games against the Minnesota Twins at Comerica Park at 1:10 p.m. Weather should not be an impediment.

Saturday afternoon gradually becomes sunnier and warmer. Skies will be partly to mostly sunny during the afternoon. There is a slight chance of a pop-up shower, but we will have nothing like the deluge of yesterday.

With enough sunshine, highs will be in the upper 70s and low 80s; still below average, but many will agree that it’s better than yesterday.

Saturday evening will be mostly clear and mild. Temperatures will be in the low 70s.

Saturday night will be fair and cool. Overnight lows will be in the 50s and low 60s.

Sunday will be even brighter with abundant sunshine. It will be warmer, too, with highs in the low 80s to near 85 degrees.

Monday will be sunny and hotter. Temps rise back above average to the middle and upper 80s.

Tuesday has a chance of showers but not before temperatures rise to near 90 degrees.

Wednesday will be mostly sunny and warm with highs in the low 80s.
