April throws curveball: From warm temps with storms to chance of flakes in Metro Detroit

April has been a chilly start to the month, with temperatures reaching the mid-60s in Detroit and surrounding suburbs, a significant shift from the 70-degree warmth of March. However, a warming trend is expected to continue throughout the day, leading to multiple rounds of rain and thunderstorms across Metro Detroit. This could impact plans at Little Caesars Arena, where the Detroit Pistons host the Minnesota Timberwolves, and potentially disrupt plans for a game at Little Cesars. The Detroit Tigers' home opener at Comerica Park is scheduled for 1:10 p.m. Saturday will feature scattered showers and possible thunderstorms, with highs near 70 degrees. Looking ahead, temperatures are expected to rebound slightly into the 50s early next week, with another chance for a rain-snow mix before moderating again by midweek.
