.AVIATION...

Insolation leading to surface based instability and a windshift
pushing southward were enough to result in scattered shower and
thunderstorm activity in vicinity of Saginaw Bay the past few hours.
The wind shift will continue to push southeastward bringing a chance
of showers and/or a thunderstorm the first 3 hours of the taf period
for locations south of I 69. Surface dewpoints will remain elevated
for a time this evening before low level cold advection builds into
the area. MVFR ceilings will then be possible overnight. Daytime
heating will allow clouds to lift Monday.

D21/DTW Convection...Low chance for thundestorms through early this
evening.   

.DTW THRESHOLD PROBABILITIES...

* High for ceiling 5000 feet through the overnight.

* Low for thunderstorms this evening.
