The hot, humid, and stormy weather has taken a toll on Metro Detroit families, but we will get some relief from the heat. The chance of showers and storms will last longer.

There is the chance of an isolated strong to severe thunderstorm Saturday night, but the odds are low over Southeast Michigan. The main concerns would be gusty winds and heavy rain. The heavy rain could lead to localized street flooding.

It will be mostly cloudy with the chance of showers and thunderstorms through the overnight hours. Lows will range from 70 to 75 degrees. Winds will be out of the southwest at 8 to 13 mph with gusts up to 25 mph.

Sunday

The heavier rain will move out of the area by 6 a.m. Sunday as a cold front sweeps across the area, but a few showers will be possible through the morning. In the afternoon and evening, a few more spotty showers and a stray thunderstorm may develop. Otherwise, it will be mostly cloudy and noticeably cooler. Highs will be near 85 degrees in Detroit, lower 80s around Monroe, Ann Arbor, and Metro Airport in Romulus. It will be around 80 degrees in Pontiac, Flint, and Port Huron. Winds will be out of the west at 12 to 16 mph with gusts up to 25 mph.

Sunday night, expect partly cloudy skies and lows in the lower to mid 60s.

Monday

The weather looks to be ideal for outdoor activities on Monday, including the 66th Ford Fireworks. A high-pressure system will provide Southeast Michigan with mostly sunny skies, and afternoon temperatures will only peak in the lower 80s.

Monday night, it will be mostly clear and comfortable around 10 p.m. as the fireworks show begins. Overnight, it will become partly cloudy with lows in the lower to mid 60s.

Tuesday

The rain chance will return on Tuesday with highs back in the upper 80s. The high temperatures are forecast to be in the lower to mid 80s through the workweek.

MILWAUKEE — The National Weather Service has extended its tornado watch for the Milwaukee area to 10 p.m. Saturday.

The watch includes the counties of Kenosha, Milwaukee, Ozaukee, and Racine.

The area is expected to see several thunderstorms and heavy rainfall that may lead to flash flooding through the evening. The heavy rainfall is creating risks of longer-term river flooding as well.

MINNEAPOLIS, Kan. (KCTV) – Shots fired near a Central Kansas swimming pool led to a shootout between law enforcement officials and a suspect before he was hit.

The Kansas Bureau of Investigation says that around 8:20 a.m. on Saturday, June 22, the manager of the Markley Grove Park Swimming Pool reported three gunshots were heard around the park.

The Ottawa County Sheriff’s Office said it arrived on the scene around 8:25 a.m. along with the Minneapolis Police Department. When they arrived, they heard more shots fired.

Shortly thereafter, the Kansas Highway Patrol said Troopers also arrived on the scene when the shooter, Artemis Thor Peck, 46, of Minneapolis ran out of his home. He fired his gun at law enforcement officials and a surveillance drone.

Law enforcement officials indicated that return shots were fired and Peck was hit several times. He was taken to Salina Regional Health Center where he underwent surgery. He is set to be flown to a hospital in Wichita for more complex surgical procedures. He is expected to survive.

Investigators noted that there were swimmers at the pool and campers in the park at the time of the shooting. No other injuries were reported as a result.

KBI said it was notified of the officer-involved shooting around 9:55 a.m. and began an independent investigation into the shooting. Once it is finished, the results will be sent to the Ottawa County, Kan., Attorney for review. As a result, the pool and park were closed to the public on Saturday.

As of 4:15 p.m. on Saturday, the investigation remains ongoing.
