After a chilly start this morning, we are expecting temperatures only in the low 60s for highs this afternoon. Thankfully, it should come with plenty in the way of sunshine. It will be breezy as well with winds from the north between 10 to 20 mph. Rosh Hashanah begins at sunset tonight and if you plan to celebrate, expect temperatures to eventually bottom out in the mid and upper 30s to low 40s. Light frost could be an issue especially north and west of Metro Detroit. A midweek warm up is forecast by next week with highs back in the 70s.

If you have noticed the red sunrises and sunsets lately, it is due to smoke from the wildfires on the west coast. That smoke and haze will hang around this afternoon limiting our sunshine. Highs temperatures are expected in the upper 70s to near 80 degrees. A cold front is forecast to move through southeast Michigan this evening after sunset bringing with it, a few showers. Rain should clear the area by daybreak Thursday morning with highs tomorrow noticeably cooler in the 60s.

After our morning showers clear the area around sunrise, expect mostly cloudy skies to become partly cloudy with a northwesterly breeze between 10 to 15 mph gusting to 20 mph. High today should top out in the mid and upper 70s this afternoon. Temperatures will fall through the mid 50s overnight, so it is going to get cool. That will then set the stage for lots of sunshine on Monday. Enjoy.
