Memorial Day forecast: Dry throughout day, storms possible tonight

(FOX 2) - Despite a cooler start to the day, temperatures should hover around the low 70s to provide for a comfortable Memorial Day. 

FOX 2 Weather Authority Alan Longstreet says SkyTracker's pretty quiet across southwest Detroit and that trend is expecting to hold throughout the day, making for a dry holiday. 

Storms off to the west are heading this way, but likely won't make it to Michigan until tonight. There's a possibility of making it through sunset, which is about 9 p.m., without any showers.

It's possible the storm does move in earlier, but they'll more likely begin around 10-11 p.m. Some storms could pack a punch, so keep an eye on the FOX 2 Weather app.

Tomorrow's forecast is a high of 76 degrees with showers and storms, 78 degrees Wednesday with a chance of storms, 71 degrees Thursday with a chance of storms, and a dry Friday at 71 degrees.
