DETROIT – Boy did that sunshine look and feel nice today! Don’t get used to it, though, as clouds will roll right back in tonight, with lows in the mid 30s (1 degree Celsius). Southeast wind at 5 to 10 mph.
After a dry morning, rain quickly moves in from west to east by early afternoon (meaning that those of us in the west get it first, and those of us in the east see it arrive last).

If you’re one of the few people who doesn't yet have the Local4Casters app, this is a great time to download it. Just search for “WDIV” in the app store, and it’s right there. The app is free, and when you open the app it takes you right to the radar page, which you can zoom in or out with your fingers to customize the view. And by the way, if you zoom way out, you’ll see that it also gives you the radar in Europe! Enter your home location, and it’ll also give you automatic push alerts whenever rain, snow or lightning approaches your area. Finally, one of the app’s best features is that when you travel, the app “goes with you” and gives you the weather wherever you are!

Up North weather
For those of you heading up north for the start of firearm deer hunting season, prepare for rain. Wednesday is the big day, of course, and rain will definitely reign. It’ll be dry at sunrise, with temps in the mid 30s (1-2 degrees Celsius). Rain develops, however, and this won’t be drizzle…it’ll RAIN…with highs in the mid 40s (8 degrees Celsius), and stiff breezes further detracting from your comfort level. Thursday looks dry, with some developing sunshine, and here’s a bonus for you: Friday now looks dry through early to mid-afternoon before the next batch of rain arrives, and continues well into Saturday. Some snow showers are possible Saturday night, but it’s not clear if you’ll have enough for tracking. Sunday looks windy and much colder, with a flurry or snow shower possible.

Thanksgiving week weather
The Local 4Casters have been watching the long range computer models since last week and are becoming increasingly confident that we’ll have a mostly dry Thanksgiving week. This is a very preliminary outlook, which can obviously change this far out but, right now, we don’t see anything in the developing pattern that even suggests a major storm for our region. We’ll keep you posted on your travel weather!
