The forecast from FOX 17 Meteorologist Kara James: Today was the first sunrise before 7 A.M. this season! Although it was still a cool day, sunshine felt nice. Thursday will be another chilly and quiet day to start, with highs reaching the middle 60s. A few showers will be possible later in the evening and overnight, but nothing heavy. This is the onset moisture from another system bringing the potential for some strong to severe storms on Friday. At this point, the Storm Prediction Center has southern Lower Michigan in the Slight Risk Area (Level 2 out of 5) for Friday, so stay tuned to updated forecasts for Good Friday. Wind and hail with these storms would be the primary threat. Pleasant weather is on tap for much of Easter Weekend, with partial sunshine and highs in the mid/upper 50s both Saturday and Easter Sunday. That said, showers are becoming increasingly possible on Sunday. Stay tuned to FOX 17 for the latest forecast updates.
