Metro Detroit weather: A few thunderstorms, then the good stuff

Skies clear overnight

DETROIT – Cool air aloft combined with moderately warm air at the surface (mid- to upper 70s/25 to 26 degrees Celsius), and an upper level disturbance dropping downstate has triggered some thunderstorms up north, and some of them are heading toward Metro Detroit.

The deal with these storms is that they will rapidly diminish as soon as we get closer to sunset. Cooling surface temps will start stabilizing the atmosphere and the storms will start to fall apart. But before then, some us of -- especially north of M-59 -- might get a storm.
