Fireworks forecast

A line of moderate to heavy showers and storms will race across Southeast Michigan from west to east. Heavy downpours and gusty winds are possible, so families must be prepared to seek shelter and secure their belongings if the weather turns nasty. Temps will go from the upper 70s to the middle 70s.

Sunset is at 9:14 p.m. ET.

9 p.m. to 11 p.m. ET

Any showers or thunderstorms become more widely scattered in time for the fireworks. This is good news along the Detroit River with a lower chance of rain.
