DETROIT – Scattered showers will dot the area first thing this morning, but more of us won’t get rain than will.
We’ll then dry out for the middle part of the day, with just the chance for some widely scattered mid-to-late afternoon showers possible. If you have outdoor plans, check the radar often on our FREE Local4Casters weather app to stay ahead of the weather. Highs in the low 80s (28 degrees Celsius), with a light and variable wind.
Today’s sunrise is at 6:41 a.m., and today’s sunset is at 8:34 p.m.
Becoming mostly clear tonight, with lows in the mid 60s (18 degrees Celsius). Northeast wind at 2 to 5 mph.
Wednesday forecast
Partly cloudy on Wednesday -- this looks like a fine summer day! Highs in the low 80s (27-28 degrees Celsius).
The rain I originally thought would come in Wednesday night now looks to hold off until during the day on Thursday. A solid area of much-needed showers and thunderstorms will arrive, with a strong storm not even out of the question (but I don’t expect a major severe weather outbreak). Highs in the low 80s (27-28 degrees Celsius).
Thursday forecast
Rain ends Thursday night, with lows in the upper 60s (20 degrees Celsius).
Friday forecast
Friday looks partly cloudy with just a very slight shower chance. Highs in the upper 70s (26 degrees Celsius).
Weekend forecast
Saturday looks to be partly cloudy with a chance of scattered afternoon showers. It had better not rain on Saturday -- it’s “Paul Gross Day” at the Farmington Farmer’s Market and, although I obviously can’t control the weather, it’s still a little embarrassing to have it rain on me! Come on out and say hi!
Sunday at this point looks nice, with partly cloudy skies, and highs in the low 80s (28 degrees Celsius).
Monday's Eclipse forecast
Monday is Eclipse Day, and we’ll have mostly sunny skies! Of course, it won’t be a total solar eclipse here in southeast Michigan -- that will occur farther south -- but at about 2:30 p.m. around 80% of the sun’s disk will be covered by the moon. You won’t notice much difference, but those with eclipse glasses or projecting the sun’s image with the cardboard pinhole projection method will see a chunk of the sun covered by the moon passing in front of it.
