A freeze watch remains in effect as temperatures at sunrise Saturday are expected to fall 10 to 15 degrees below normal for early May across the region.

A freeze warning has been issued for the entire Lower Peninsula, with the 4Warn Weather team cautioning that temperatures could dip into the mid-20s to low 30s overnight.

A cold front brings scattered storms this morning before temperatures plunge to near-freezing levels by Thursday and Friday nights, with frost warnings likely across the region.

Temperatures will struggle to reach 50 degrees through the weekend as an upper low anchors north of Lake Superior, bringing unseasonably cold conditions for early May.

Scattered rain showers are possible across the Detroit region throughout Wednesday morning before cooler temperatures arrive.

The threat of severe storms is gone Wednesday morning, but the threat rises again later this afternoon and evening in Southeast Michigan.

Rain is in the forecast too, but it won’t be a washout. Scattered showers early this morning will fade for a while, then return in a more limited fashion this afternoon.
