Hazy Wednesday with spotty rain possible before some storm chances arrive in Metro Detroit

Storms possible for some Thursday afternoon

4Warn Weather – Wednesday begins with temps in the 60s, but with a few pockets of patchy fog, particularly in Monroe and Washtenaw counties. Areas with fog formation begin the day a bit cooler.

Skies will be mainly sunny today, but will appear cloudy due to wildfire smoke creating hazy conditions once again. The good news: The smoke layer should push out tonight.

In the meantime, there is a very isolated shower chance Wednesday afternoon. Don’t bank on seeing the rain, since the isolated shower or thunderstorm will likely be north of I-69.

Highs will be a bit more seasonal in the low and mid-80s.

Tonight’s sunset is at 8:52 p.m.

Skies will be partly cloudy Wednesday night with lows in the low to mid-60s.

Storm chances Thursday

Thursday will be mostly sunny early, then clouds will increase. We will turn warmer with higher humidity levels.

Thunderstorms will develop in our norther communities Thursday afternoon and evening. The main area will be the Thumb, from Marine City to Saginaw, and areas north of there. Marginally severe hail and gusty winds are possible with the strongest storms before they weaken after sunset.

Afterward, Friday will be sunny and breezing with lower humidity.

Elsewhere ...

Nationally, the dangerous heat wave persists from the Southwest, into the Southern Plains, Lower Mississippi Valley and the central to western Gulf coast. A fire weather threat continues across portions of the Southern Plains. Thunderstorms may produce excessive rainfall and flash flooding from central Missouri into southern Illinois. Heavy rains expected from the Great Basin into the northern to central Rockies.
