Warming week with 80s in sight

DETROIT – Good Monday morning! We do have a bit of cloud cover over Metro Detroit but no rain in the area with temperatures in the upper 40s to low 50s as you head out and about. What a Mother’s Day Weekend! We had nothing but sunshine and mid to upper 60s although some of your carmometers may have been reading 70 degrees both days. The clouds that rolled in overnight are from showers well off to our west and won’t be a factor in our forecast today. We should see a beautiful sunrise as the sun battles through these clouds as the clouds begin to fade away making for a magnificent Monday.

Sunrise is at 6:19 am

Partly sunny skies will become mostly sunny skies here in Metro Detroit today and highs will hit room temperature, or the low 70s in the presence of beautiful May sunshine. The winds will pick up from time-to-time SE 7-15 gusting 20-25mph occasionally. We will have that same wind pattern all of this week with the steady breeze blowing off of Lake Erie and Lake St. Clair which only means extreme east siders and those in Southern Ontario will be a degree or two cooler than most of SE Lower Michigan all week. And it’s going to be a nice and warming week with gradual bumps in temps each day moving forward.

Sunset is at 8:41 pm

Tuesday will be an absolute beauty for all of us here in Pure Michigan with a nice blend of sun and clouds and high temperatures in the middle 70s to near 80 degrees and that same breeze SE 7-15mph and a little less gusty. Rain showers and thunderstorms will be forming with a weak disturbance back into Wisconsin and that will only start to spread cloud cover into our area through the late afternoon and evening. The rain stays out of here and we will definitely see more sun than clouds during the daylight hours with more clouds expected after the sun sets.

Wednesday will be mostly cloudy with debris clouds from showers and storms off to our west and deflecting to our north. So, high temperatures will likely hold in the mid 70s due to the cloud cover. One of our computer models tries to throw a few afternoon showers into the mix, but we will be fairly dry in Metro Detroit making shower formation difficult and so we will keep things dry for now. Thursday morning clouds will fade and give way to more warming sunshine. We will see high temps into the low 80s for the first time in almost three weeks.

The warmest day of this week will be Friday as we hit the low to middle 80s but we will not likely be flirting with 90 degrees for the first time this year. We will see sun mix with clouds forming with the heat of the afternoon and conditions still look to remain dry. The weekend ahead is a different story. The jury is still out on showers and storms for Saturday and right now, it looks like a few isolated thundershowers are possible in the heat of the afternoon with highs in the lower 80s. Sunday brings the best rain chances we’ve had in a while, and although the timing is bad, we will be in need of some wet weather by then. Stay tuned!
