Clear skies give Metro Detroit perfect Blue Moon viewing weather

4Warn Weather – After a gorgeous Saturday, wonderful weather will continue for Metro Detroit for the second half of the weekend and into next week.

Don’t forget to check out the Blue Moon this evening; our sun sets just after 9 p.m. It’s named the Blue Moon not for color, but because it’s the second full moon of the month.

It’s also a micromoon, meaning the moon is at its farthest point from the earth that it will be all month. It will reach peak fullness at 4:45 a.m. Sunday morning.

Having two full moons in one month only happens once about every 2 to 3 years.

Also, Jupiter, Venus, and Mercury will line up in the western sky.

If you’ll be sitting or standing outdoors for a bit, temperatures will be comfortable tonight, falling to near 60° by 10 p.m. before dropping to the low 40s to near 50° overnight.

That leads to a beautiful Sunday with sunshine and highs in the low to mid 70s.

UV levels will be in the Very High range tomorrow, so if you’ll be outside you may want to grab the sunscreen.

Southeast Michigan will continue to have plenty of sunny days into the coming week. The next chance for rain holds off until late Friday.

Highs will warm to around 80° for Monday for most areas. Closer to the shoreline you’ll find more 70s if not the 60s. Tuesday and Wednesday will feature highs back near 80° before we see mid 80s Thursday and Friday.
