Detroit is set to see a mix of dreary weather conditions over the next week, with fog, drizzle, and fluctuating temperatures on the horizon. According to the latest forecast from the National Weather Service, fog enveloped the region early this morning, eventually clearing to leave cloudy skies with a high reaching the low 40s.
Residents can expect the fickle weather to persist, with the potential for patchy drizzle or freezing drizzle starting after 1 am tonight, which may make for slick roads, especially with temperatures dropping to a low around 33 degrees. Not to be outdone by the night, blustery conditions are also anticipated, as southwest winds could gust as high as 23 mph.
As the week rolls on, Thursday's conditions mirror today's with another chance of drizzle and cloudy skies, while the mercury creeps slightly higher with a high nearing 44 degrees. "Widespread dense fog before 10am" was what greeted Detroiters this morning, and although it has lifted, the gray canvas above is a lingering reminder of the day's somber start.
Change comes Friday, offering a brief respite with partly sunny skies and a high around 38 degrees, though the north northeast wind of 8 to 10 mph promises a brisk day ahead. Moving into the weekend, residents can look forward to a sunny Saturday, with clear skies continuing into the night as temperatures take a dip to around 28 degrees.
Sunnier days are ahead for Sunday, with clear skies and a high in the lower 40s, whereas Sunday night will see some clouds with lows hovering around 30. The forecast for Monday and Tuesday remains mostly sunny, with daytime highs at or near 40 and nighttime lows sticking around the upper 20s.
