4Warn Weather - Many across Southeast Michigan saw blue skies throughout our Sunday. Into the thumb region down into parts of Macomb County you may have noticed a bit more cloud cover and flurries, all thanks to a northerly wind. As winds turn calm skies will turn mainly clear for everyone. It’ll be chilly tonight with temperatures falling to the single digits to mid teens.
Make sure to grab the sunglasses for Monday! We’ll see beautiful sunshine to begin the workweek with highs in the mid 30s.
We’re watching Tuesday morning for a couple of reasons.
One, there is a lunar eclipse. This occurs when Earth passes directly between the sun and moon, casting a shadow across the lunar surface. It turns the moon a deep red-orange color, which is why it’s also referred to as the “Blood Moon”. With increasing cloud cover Monday night into Tuesday morning, timing will be key in determining if we’re able to see the lunar eclipse here in Southeast Michigan.
Two, we could see scattered wintry mix and freezing rain Tuesday morning. This could make for a slick commute before temperatures warm and change precipitation to all rain. Highs on Tuesday look to be around 40°.
We then have an active pattern for the end of the week, giving us rain chances Wednesday through Saturday.
It will at least be warm. Wednesday’s high temperatures will be in the mid 40s before we reach the mid 50s Thursday. Friday’s high will be around 60° with slightly cooler weather expected for the upcoming weekend.
