DETROIT – Welcome to Thursday night, Motown.
Right on schedule, scattered rain showers crossed the state border at 9 p.m. The rest of the night gets wetter and wetter. It remains mild and temperatures barely budge on Friday. It remains soggy through the very beginning of the weekend. It becomes drier in time for the big game and Halloween.
Rain really gets going Thursday night. Widespread, steady rain arrives when many of us are in bed. Overnight lows will be in the low and mid-50s.
Sunrise is at 8:03 a.m.
Friday
Friday will be cool and rainy. Steadiest rain is more likely in the morning. Rain becomes a bit more scattered Friday afternoon and evening. Rain will be heavy, at times, but not for long. Temperatures will be in the mid-50s all day.
One to two inches of rain are possible by the end of Friday, and that’s over several hours (over 12 or 14). Therefore, flood issues will mainly be in areas that remain very prone and vulnerable -- with pumps that don’t work or on streets with very poor drainage. Remember to clear any gutters of leaves or debris.
Weekend forecast
Saturday will have some stray showers in the morning, then it will be drier in time for the big Michigan-Michigan State football game at noon in East Lansing.
Morning temperatures will be in the upper 40s. Afternoon temps in the mid-50s.
Happy Halloween, Sunday! It will be mostly sunny and milder with highs near 60 degrees. This is perfect trunk-or-treat weather for our youngest ghosts and goblins.
Monsters and witches who go trick-or-treating during the late afternoon or evening with parents will have mostly clear to partly cloudy skies and chillier conditions. Temps will fall from the 50s to the 40s. Remember to bundle up before going around the neighborhood.
Next week
Monday will be mostly sunny and cooler. Highs in the low 50s.
Tuesday becomes mostly cloudy and chilly. Highs in the upper 40s.
