(CBS DETROIT) - While light rain continues through southeast Michigan on Tuesday night, the remainder of the week appears dry in the forecast. We'll even see some sunshine for Thanksgiving this year! 

If you're traveling up north over the next couple of days, temperatures will be in the 30s and 40s, but dry conditions remain throughout the Upper Peninsula and the upper Lower Peninsula.

A broad view of the state shows more dry conditions will still be the case, but temperatures in the lower peninsula will stay in the 40s with more sunshine present on Thanksgiving day.

The Midwest looks predominately dry, with temps ranging from the 30s to the 50s on Wednesday and Thursday. There is still rain on Wednesday if you head east to areas like Toronto, or southeast to Cleveland. However, conditions will clear for both areas on Thursday as the low-pressure system that affected southeast Michigan on Tuesday continues to travel east.

The upper northeast will also have a chance of snow on Thursday. Areas in the South, such as Houston and New Orleans will see cloudy conditions.
