DETROIT – Tuesday’s cold front has ushered in a cooler, drier air mass, with the day’s mid 80s (30 degrees Celsius) now replaced by Wednesday’s mid- to upper 70s (24 to 26 degrees Celsius). While an isolated brief, light shower is possible before sunset -- best chance is north of M-59 -- most of us should be dry through the evening hours.
Overnight, skies will become mostly clear, with lows in the low-to-mid 50s (10 to 13 degrees Celsius). West winds will shift to the northwest, and diminish to 5 to 10 mph.

Weekend Outlook
If you read my weather articles last weekend and earlier this week, you may recall my discussing the uncertainties of this weekend’s forecast. While some uncertainties still remain, I am starting to get a better feel for things. At this point, I think we’ll be dry on Saturday, with mostly sunny skies and highs in the low to mid 80s (28 to 29 degrees Celsius).
Sunday is the more challenging of the two days, with partly cloudy skies and at least the small chance for a shower. It’ll remain warm, with highs in the mid 80s (30 degrees Celsius).
