After a dry end of the week with plenty of sunshine, cloud cover has worked into the region overnight and into early on Saturday morning, and we have got a wet weekend shaping up for all of Southeastern Michigan.

While we start the day dry on Saturday, we will watch rain showers, move into the region by the afternoon and evening hours. A few thunderstorms are also possible Saturday night overnight into early on Sunday morning.

A few of those thunderstorms could be on the gusty side of things as well. The Storm Prediction Center has placed our Southwestern Communities under a Marginal Risk (1 out of 5) on our severe weather scale. We are not expecting a widespread threat for severe weather, all the one or two stronger thunderstorms cannot be rolled out. Daytime highs by Saturday afternoon will warm well into the 70s.

We will keep the rain, showers and chance for a few thunderstorms under the forecast early on Sunday morning as a cold front presses off to the east. High temperatures into the 60s early in the morning, will fall into the 50s by the time we get to Sunday afternoon and into Sunday evening.

The winds will also be a concern through the second half of the weekend as well. With a strong cold front rolling through, we could see wind, gusts and excess of 30 to 40 miles an hour and in some places, potentially a little higher. If you have any of those outdoor decorations heading into Halloween, make sure you bring them inside or secure them before we get to this active weekend weather.

What’s that front of boundary moves off to the east, we will dry things out with plenty of sunshine for early next week on Monday. High temperatures colder to start the week, only a little lower 60s by Monday afternoon.

Another chance of rain showers moves into the region by the time we get to Tuesday, temperature is falling yet again as we will only head into the upper 50s by Tuesday afternoon.

Then dry weather sticks around through the middle and end of next week, although we will bring in more cloud cover under the forecast by the time we get to Thursday and Friday. High temperatures remaining into the mid upper 50s through the second half of next week.
