Sep. 28--Strong storms that blew through southeast Michigan just before 3 a.m. today brought cool temperatures but no major electrical outages, DTE Energy reports.

DTE spokesman Len Singer said that despite strong winds, there aren't any more customers with power out than on a typical day in southeast Michigan.

The company was not providing numbers this morning.

"We've just had scattered problems, nothing serious," Singer said at 6:30 a.m. today. "We've had a couple of issues where some wires have come down."

Wind gusts as high as 35 m.p.h. have prompted a wind advisory for metro Detroit and the surrounding areas through midnight. If you have lawn furniture out or hanging flower baskets, you may want to secure them or bring them inside, "First Forecasts Mornings" meteorologist Lori Pinson said.

Scattered rain will continue through today, with high temperatures around 60 degrees, National Weather Service meteorologist Amos Dodson said this morning from the White Lake Township office. Nighttime lows are expected to be in the 40s tonight and Tuesday night.

Rain should clear out by Tuesday afternoon, but clouds will remain with high temperatures in the high 50s or low 60s.

This cool trend should continue into Thursday as winds from the west and northwest blow through. We'll see a gradual increase in temperature, culminating in the mid to upper 60s by Friday as winds become more east to southeast, Pinson said.

The average temperature for metro Detroit for this time of the year is 70 degrees, she said.
