Metro Detroit Weather: Rain, thunder, and a record high

Think of it this way..... you get two seasons in just one day. Sounds like Michigan weather!

As low pressure sweeps through the region rain could be heavy at times. There could even be some thunder. Temps will continue to rise through the overnight hours to record heights tomorrow morning. They fall for the rest of the day. Rain totals could reach .5"+ where storms are present.

We are expecting record high temps in the morning Friday with 58° in Detroit. The current record is 55° back in 1949. Behind a strong cold front temps will drop from midday through the rest of the day. Temperatures by 5 PM will range from 38° northwest of Detroit to around 45° in the city. Winds will gust to 35 mph Friday as well. In the morning it will be a warm SW wind and then a much colder NW wind in the afternoon.
