We start with some sunshine today, but clouds will continue to increase across Southeast Michigan as showers move into the region this afternoon. While a few rumbles of thunder cannot be ruled out, the overall thunderstorm threat during the daytime hours remains low.
Rain chances will continue through tonight, with scattered showers and a slightly better chance for thunderstorms developing overnight. Most storms are expected to remain below severe limits, but periods of moderate rainfall may occur. The unsettled weather continues into Thursday as additional showers and thunderstorms develop during the afternoon and evening. A few stronger storms could produce isolated damaging wind gusts, although the overall severe weather threat remains on the lower end.
Conditions begin to improve on Friday as drier air works into the region. Most of Southeast Michigan should remain dry, but communities closer to the Ohio state line could still see a passing shower or two. The weather pattern turns much more summer-like for the weekend. Temperatures will warm into the low 80s Saturday and Sunday with a mix of sun and clouds, providing excellent pool and lake days!
Even hotter weather is expected to arrive early next week. A surge of warmer and more humid air will push temperatures well above average beginning Monday and continuing through at least the middle of next week. High temperatures are likely to approach 90 degrees by Tuesday, accompanied by increasing humidity levels. Along with the heat and humidity, periodic chances for showers and thunderstorms will return through the first half of next week.
