Stormy Overnight Ahead

This morning and most of this afternoon look great under partly cloudy skies. Expect highs to jump into the mid 70s along with a breezy wind. Winds could gust up to 20 mph at times making things a little bumpy on some of our lakes and rivers. Scattered showers and thunderstorms are expected during the late evening, overnight and into early Monday morning. Thankfully, by daybreak Monday, most of the rain and storms should be east of Metro Detroit. In its wake, we will hang on to partly cloudy skies with just a few isolated rain chances through your Labor Day afternoon.
