Cold front will bring risk of thunderstorms Wednesday night; Cooler Thursday

High temperatures today got close to the 80 degree mark across Northeast Michigan. A gap between to storm systems has provided our area quiet weather, morning cloud cover gave way to afternoon sunshine.

Fair skies extend across Minnesota and Iowa, our area will continue to see mostly clear skies tonight. However, increasing humidity and light winds may result in patchy fog during the early-morning hours. Sunshine is expected tomorrow afternoon, until the next cold front approaches our area. That cold front currently sits north of the Canadian border and it will travel toward the southeast. Thunderstorms are possible tomorrow night as the cold front moves through our area. Cloud cover will then clear on Thursday and cooler temperatures will move in.
