The next week is set to douse the city with a series of showers amidst a cloudy backdrop, according to the updated weather forecast. Temperatures will hover between the high 40s and mid-70s, bringing a mix of spring warmth and wet conditions. The National Weather Service reports a gloomy Thursday, with a 60% chance of rain and possible gusts hitting 20 mph.

The dreary weather kicks off tonight with a 30% chance of showers before 2 a.m., followed by gradually clearing skies and a low of around 47. Friday is looking up with mostly sunny skies and a high of 64 to give Detroiters a brief respite from the rainfall. Come nighttime, however, and it's back to a 30% chance of showers after the clock strikes 2 a.m., and temperatures dipping to around 49.

According to the National Weather Service forecast, Saturday won't provide much opportunity for outdoor plans, as showers are slated to begin at 8 a.m. and persist throughout the day with an 80% chance of precipitation. Anticipate a substantial amount of rain, between a quarter and half of an inch, while temperatures reach 61 degrees. Saturday night will see some relief with partly cloudy skies and a drop to 46.

Despite the weekend washout, Sunday promises to deliver a dose of sunshine with a high near a pleasant 70. The dry spell is a short-lived affair, as showers might return after 2 a.m., keeping the pattern of unpredictability going into the new week. Monday and Tuesday don't stray far from this wet motif, with chances of showers and potential thunderstorms mixing up the weather stage, all amidst temperatures that are creeping toward the mid-70s.

The city of Detroit should brace for an inconsistent weather week. The forecast, last updated at 4:24 a.m., projects conditions up through May 15, indicating that showers may stay in the Motor City's immediate future.
