Comfortable, dry finish to the end of the week

A comfortable Friday leads into a warmer weekend, which sets the stage for a hot start to next week. Alan Longstreet breaks down the Metro Detroit weather forecast. 

A big weekend warm-up is coming, and today isn't too bad either, as dry weather wins out. 

Highs will be around 70 Friday before surging to nearly 80 for the weekend.

The weekend won't be a total washout, so let’s time out the storms. Scattered storms are a decent bet early Saturday morning, though coverage is still a little questionable. Here’s future radar at 9 a.m. Saturday:

The early action really limits the afternoon development, which means a mostly (totally?) dry second half of Saturday. Scattered storms are also possible Sunday morning, with a better bet by evening. 

That all comes ahead of the hottest day in the stretch, as Monday temps soar into the 80s.
