The forecast from FOX 17 Meteorologist Michael Fish: This very warm weather pattern will continue into the weekend before things get just a little cooler next week. We're not talking about a drastic, fall cool-down, but just temeratures a little closer to average which is in the low 70s to around 70. We will likely remain above normal in temperatures for the remainder of September though. As usual, each day starts off relatively comfortably either side of 60, then we pop well into the 80s in the afternoon through Sunday. Look for minor shower chances and perhaps a thunderstorm with a weak cold front pushing into the state on Friday. We really could use some rain at this point, and we may finally see some moisture late this weekend into week as another stronger system tracks directly into Michigan! Stay tuned to FOX 17 for your latest weather updates.
TONIGHT: A few clouds late and comfortable. Lows in the lower 60s. Winds east-southeast at 5 to 10 mph.
FRIDAY: Partly cloudy to partly sunny and warm. A shower or two is possible, perhaps a thunderstorm, as a cold front tracks through the state. Highs in the low/middle 80s. Extreme southwest Lower Michigan remains in a MARGINAL RISK (level 1 of 5) for a stronger to marginally severe storm in the afternoon. Wind is the primary threat. Winds south/southwest at 5 to 10 mph.
SATURDAY: Some morning clouds/fog, otherwise mostly sunny to partly cloudy and warm. Highs in the middle 80s.
SUNDAY: Mostly sunny to partly cloudy early, but afternoon clouds thicken with a chance of showers by late afternoon/evening as our next weather system approaches. Highs in the lower 80s.
MONDAY: Mostly cloudy and cooler with a few showers possible. A thunderstorm is also possible. Highs in the mid 70s.
