Metro Detroit weekend weather: Thunderstorms Saturday afternoon, cooler Sunday

DETROIT – As expected, showers increased through the night, and it's a wet start to our Saturday. Showers and even a few thunderstorms are likely through the day, although there will be some periodic breaks from the rain. But overall, plan on a wet day, with highs reaching the low to mid 70s.

Shower chances continue into the evening, but should diminish by late-evening.

Sunday is Eastern Market's annual Flower Day, and it looks as if we'll get by with a dry day, although it'll be cool with highs only in the mid to upper 60s (perhaps not even reaching the 60s near Lake Huron).

Don't forget that Local 4 will have a special hour-long newscast between 4:00 and 5:00 pm this afternoon. I'll update the weather for your evening plans if you're going out, and we'll have a complete wrap-up of the Royal Wedding...including reports from our own Tim Pamplin, the "Knightcam," who is in England taking it all in firsthand!
