After a dry start to the weekend with plenty of sunshine after the few showers and thunderstorms on Saturday Morning, we’ve got more chances for showers and thunderstorms in the forecast looking ahead into the end of the weekend.

We will start the day with some sunshine on Sunday, then increase the cloud cover we had through the afternoon and into the evening. Showers and thunderstorms are expected Sunday afternoon into Sunday evening, some of those could be strong to possibly severe.

The Storm Prediction Center has placed most of Southeastern Michigan in a Marginal Risk (1 out of 5) for severe weather on Sunday with Lenawee and Monroe Counties under a Slight Risk (2 out of 5) for severe weather. This risk for severe weather continues further south into the Ohio Valley where an Enhanced Risk (3 out of 5) for severe weather is in place from Missouri into Ohio and Kentucky.

Damaging winds in excess of 60 miles an hour and large hail will be the primary threat, although heavy rainfall will also be possible with some thunderstorms, as well as an isolated tornado could be possible as well. High temperatures heading for the upper 70s to near 80 degrees by Sunday afternoon.

We keep the chance of rain showers and clouds into the forecast. Looking ahead Memorial Day on Monday. High temperatures remaining into the low mid 70s by Monday afternoon.

Then we start to break up the cloud cover, bring a little sunshine into the forecast, but we also keep the chance of rain showers and a few thunderstorms into the forecast as well for Tuesday. High temperatures remaining in the low 70s by Tuesday afternoon.

We will keep the chance of rain showers into the forecast looking ahead to Wednesday, before high-pressure moves into the region and dries us out. Lots of sunshine is expected Thursday and into the end of next week on Friday. High temperatures cooler, in the 60s looking ahead into Wednesday before we warm back into the 70s for the end of next week.

The dry weather sticks around into the start of next weekend on Saturday, partly cloudy skies can be expected. High temperatures heading for the lower 80s before our next chance of rain moves into the region late on Saturday night.

In addition to events to honor the fallen and observe Memorial Day, many people are enjoying the outdoors. Whether you’re grilling in the backyard or grooving at the Movement Music Festival in Detroit’s Hart Plaza this weekend, you will want to be prepared for changing weather conditions.

It will be comfortable and mostly clear as a high-pressure dominates through early Sunday over the Great Lakes region. Temperatures will fall to the lower to mid 50s late Saturday night and early Sunday morning. Winds will be out of the west-northwest at 5 to 10 mph.

Sunday

Expect a sunny start to Sunday, but rain showers and thunderstorms will move into the area during the afternoon and evening. Some of the storms could be strong to severe with gusty winds. Non-thunderstorm winds will be out of the east-southeast at 5 to 15 mph with gusts up to 20 mph. The main window for strong to severe storms will be from 4 p.m. to 9 p.m., but the chance for thunderstorms will last into the overnight hours. The better chance of strong to severe storms will be south of I-69, where there is a marginal (level 1 of 5) risk. Highs will be in the upper 70s.

Plan for showers and thunderstorms on Sunday night, including a risk of severe storms during the late afternoon and evening. Lows will be in the lower to mid 60s.

Memorial Day

We will have a mix of sun and clouds with a chance of rain on Monday. A few spotty showers will be possible from morning through the afternoon, but the chances are low. Some areas will go the day without rain. Outdoors activities should be able to proceed without much disruption from the weather. Temperatures will top out in the lower to mid 70s. Southerly winds will be 10 to 20 mph with gusts up to 30 mph.

Showers and thunderstorms will be possible on Tuesday afternoon and evening. It will be partly cloudy on Wednesday and mostly dry, but there is the chance for a few isolated showers. Highs will only be in the upper 60s and lower 70s as cooler air pushes into the region. Temperatures will rebound toward the end of the week.

Metro Detroit’s normal highs through Memorial Day are 73 to 74 degrees, and the normal lows are 53 to 54 degrees.

Riley Greene is a superstitious baseball player.

“Not as much as I used to be,” Greene insisted.

To be fair, Greene hasn’t changed his walk-up song from “Cowgirls” by Morgan Wallen despite a rough stretch at the plate recently, but throughout his three-year MLB career, he has been one of the most superstitious players with the Detroit Tigers, often switching his walk-up song in search of snapping a slump.

Now, after Greene had some of his best swings in the month of May during Friday’s 6-2 win over the Toronto Blue Jays, the Tigers are leaning into the City Connect superstition.

“I just started (my swing) a little earlier,” Greene said. “I wish I would have known that a couple weeks ago.”

The Tigers decided to wear the City Connect uniforms for Saturday’s game, even though they weren’t initially supposed to wear them after Friday’s win snapped a five-game losing streak. After the win, catcher Jake Rogers polled all the players about the idea of wearing the City Connect uniforms for Saturday’s game.

Other teams have bought into the City Connect superstition, too.

“The whole organization allows it,” manager A.J. Hinch said. “It’s actually kind of turned into a thing around the league, where teams wonder if there’s a little bit of good fortune with the City Connects.”

ROOKIE RAKES: Tigers rookie Colt Keith hits first home run of MLB career. It wasn’t a fluke

Greene, meanwhile, has struggled to find his groove throughout the last 18 games, hitting .169 with one home run, five walks and 22 strikeouts. He went 1-for-4 with a double in Friday’s game, but he put four balls in play with at least a 90 mph exit velocity while elevating the ball in the air to the pull side.

He had his best swings since the beginning of May.

“My hitting coach texted me the night I punched out three times,” said Greene, who struck out three times in Thursday’s game. “He was like, ‘What do you got?’ I’m like, ‘I’m going to be honest, I have no clue what I’m doing.’ He goes, ‘Just start earlier, man. You’re late as can be.’ So, I started earlier yesterday.”

His hitting coach is Jered Goodwin, his former high school coach who trains him (and other MLB players) in the offseason and works as the vice president of scouting operations at Perfect Game.

The advice from Goodwin helped Greene realize his slump wasn’t related to his swing mechanics, rather the timing of his swing.

“Sometimes, it’s as simple as that,” Greene said. “When he told me that, I was like, ‘Why didn’t I figure that out a couple days ago, or a couple of weeks ago?’ He’s a good dude. He knows what he’s doing.”

Finally, Greene feels like himself again.

Greene, a streaky hitter so far in his career, is capable of single-handedly carrying the Tigers on offense, as exemplified by a 16-game stretch from April 17 through May 4, when he hit .339 with five home runs, 11 walks and 16 strikeouts in 16 games.

“He’s the type of hitter that none of us ever really worry about,” Hinch said. “We probably should pay a little bit more attention to the ups and downs that he goes through to try to support him more, but he’s so easy. He comes to the ballpark every day the same. He’s a swing or two away from greatness at all times.”

Colt Keith’s walk-up song

Colt Keith, a rookie second baseman, likes the choice to wear the City Connect uniforms again, but he isn’t a superstitious player. He knows the jersey he wears doesn’t determine whether or not he performs well.

He hit the first home run of his MLB career in Friday’s game.

“I feel like I’ve been dreaming of that for a while,” Keith said. “It was kind of a blur when it happened. I don’t even know what pitch I hit. I just knew that I hit it good, and I was just happy to see it fly into the stands.”

Unlike Greene in the past, Keith has stuck with his walk-up song — “Rocketeer” by Far East Movement — throughout the ups and downs of his rookie season. The 22-year-old considered switching his walk-up song earlier in the year, but his fiancée, Kaitlyn Vickers, wouldn’t let him change it.

Sounds like the soon-to-be Mrs. Keith isn’t superstitious, either.

“She told me if I change it, she’s going to hit me,” Keith said, jokingly. “I thought about changing it a couple of times, and Kait said no. She said, ‘That’s the best walk-up song on the team, you got to keep it.’ Whatever she says.”

Spencer Torkelson on the bench

First baseman Spencer Torkelson, who continues to struggle at the plate, sat the bench for Saturday’s game against the Blue Jays. Instead of Torkelson, outfielder Mark Canha handled the duties at first base.

The 24-year-old is stuck in an 0-for-19 slump.

He is hitting .135 in his last 10 games.

Torkelson previously had hits in 12 of his 13 games from May 5 through May 19, but even then, he hit just .280 with two walks and 12 strikeouts during that stretch. For the entire season, Torkelson is hitting .207 with three home runs, 16 walks and 45 strikeouts in 49 games.
