Tonight, Detroit's weather will maintain its clear nature, heading into a low of around 39. Gently flowing in from the east-southeast, the wind will hover around 6 mph. For those looking forward to Friday's warmth, the temperature is anticipated to climb even higher, hitting nearly 66 degrees with an east-southeast wind that could reach speeds between 8 and 13 mph.
