FORECAST SUMMARY: Friday, April 3, 2026 through Monday, April 6, 2026
Ozone: 8-hour average Ozone Particulate concentrations are expected to be Good (AQI Green) throughout the forecast period.
PM-2.5: 24-hour average Fine Particulate concentrations are also expected to be mostly Good (AQI Green) throughout the forecast period.
A bit more noisy weather is expected, Friday tonight, as another round of showers and thunderstorms is expected from tonight into Saturday. This is due to a warm front that will track back northward into the area bringing 60-degree temperatures for Saturday. The possibility of a few stronger storms in Southern Lower Michigan exists from tonight into early Saturday afternoon. Additional rainfall could be on the order of a half to one inch
Following the passage of an associated cold front late Saturday, weather turns colder as winter refuses to totally relent. Temperature decreases may be just cold enough for a little bit of lake effect snow. Highs will be in the low to mid 40s for the remainder of the weekend and into early next week.
Temperatures should rebound by mid-week with chances for rain to return to the forecast. I am expecting temperature to reach the 50s for highs by mid-week, which is normal for this time of year.
Winter is not over but Spring is building momentum. On a positive note, Good Air Quality is expected throughout the state, and the trend should continue into next week.
EXTENDED FORECAST:
Air Quality is expected to continue to be mostly Good entering the upcoming work week.
