Scattered rain, storm chances continue Monday in Metro Detroit: What to expect

Umbrella may be needed for Ford Fireworks

4Warn WeatherWelcome to Monday!

Showers will persist today. They will increase in coverage and intensity midday and throughout the afternoon hours.

A rumble of thunder or two cannot be ruled out, thanks to the same low-pressure system that brought the storms to our region Sunday. The good news: today’s storms are not expected to be as severe.

Gusty winds will be the primary threat Monday with pockets of heavy rainfall, so isolated flooding is possible.

We’ll also have cooler temps with highs topping out in the low and mid-70s -- about 10 degrees below average.

As the system pushes eastward Monday evening, showers will become much more isolated.

The heaviest rainfall should wrap up by 10 p.m., when the Ford Fireworks are scheduled to begin. If you are heading downtown for the show, do have an umbrella, but we’re not anticipating any strong storms come firework time.

Tonight’s sunset is at 9:14 p.m.

Monday night will turn a little drier and cooler with lows around 60.

Some rain Tuesday before we dry out

A few scattered showers will linger into Tuesday. Highs will be back into the 70s.

The sunshine will return on Wednesday, with temperatures bouncing back to around 80 degrees.

Unsettled weather could return by the upcoming weekend, bringing some wet weather with it.
