Beautiful weather continues but storm chances increase
Tonight features mostly clear and starry skies! The New Moon just occurred yesterday so star/galaxy viewing should still be very solid. It's not as cold of a night on the way with a light southerly breeze and lows dropping down to around 50 degrees.
Tuesday will begin on a dry and warm start! Temperatures will quickly climb from the 50s up to around 80 degrees with partly sunny skies. As we move toward the evening hours, we will be watching an approaching cold front.
Severe weather will be likely in areas back to our north and west but as those thunderstorms approach our region with the front, they will weaken. An isolated strong storm or two, along with brief heavy rainfall is still possible during the evening after dinnertime. Scattered showers and a few rumbles of thunder will be expected during the overnight.
Wednesday continues the risk for scattered showers and a few rumbles of thunder, as Tuesday's front stalls just to our south. Though the threat for severe weather will be very low Wednesday, an instance or two of heavy rainfall and a few rumbles of thunder will once again be a good bet. With an abundance of clouds, temperatures won't be as warm with highs in the mid 70s.
Thursday begins on a quiet note as a warm front lifts north around dawn. Our area will be caught between the warm front and the cold front, which will enable moisture to move into the region. With sunshine expected, a typical summertime pattern of scattered thunderstorms are a good bet. One or two of those storms could provide the risk for small hail and strong winds but the threat for severe weather is low overall. Temperatures will warm back up to around 80 degrees.
Friday sees a cold front cross during the afternoon, with scattered showers and storms likely under mostly cloudy skies. With the clouds, temperatures will be cooler with highs in the low 70s. Once again, an instance or two of heavy rainfall in an isolated variety is possible in some of the stronger storms.

When will the Strawberry Moon light up Michigan skies? How to glimpse full moon
It's June in Michigan and the Strawberry Moon will soon arrive, set to symbolize the season's early fruit harvests. Look up June 11 to catch a glimpse of the Strawberry Moon lighting up Michigan skies. Here's what to know about the Strawberry Moon. The name Strawberry Moon comes from June-bearing strawberries ripening during this season, according to the Old Farmer's Almanac. The Strawberry Moon, June's full moon, will reach peak illumination June 11. The previous full moon was May's Flower Moon. The moon is currently in its waxing crescent phase, at 42% illumination, according to The moon's phases in June 2025 are: New Moon: May 27 First Quarter: June 3 Full Moon: June 11 Last Quarter: June 18 New Moon: June 25 Clear skies will ensure optimal viewing, so keep an eye on the weather forecast. The full moon will peak in the afternoon at 3:44 p.m. and appear full that night. The average distance between the Earth and the moon is 238,855 miles. At its farthest from the Earth, the moon is about 252,088 miles away and astronomers say it's at apogee. When the moon is at perigee, it's 225,623 miles away. No, the Strawberry Moon is not a supermoon. You may have noticed the moon will occasionally take on a dramatic shade of orange or red in the night sky. That's because of how sunlight strikes the moon's surface after passing through the atmosphere. When the moon moves into the inner part of Earth's shadow, or umbra, according to NASA, some of the sunlight entering Earth's skies scatters before reaching the moon's surface. Colors with shorter wavelengths, such as blues and violets, scatter more easily than colors with longer wavelengths, which include red and orange.
