Detroit is set to see a mix of foggy conditions and chances of precipitation over the next week. Detroiters can expect a 40% chance of showers amid patchy fog throughout the day, with temperatures hovering around a high of 40 degrees. North winds moving at 5 to 8 mph will contribute to the already gloomy atmosphere blanketing the city, according to the National Weather Service.
The weather takes a turn for the worse tonight as dense fog is expected to set in, primarily after 2 am, reducing visibility for the late-night crowd. The National Weather Service forecasts that the clouds will persist with lows dipping to around 33 degrees, while a gentle north-northeast breeze will drift through at 3 to 5 mph. This dreary curtain of haze is anticipated to linger into Saturday morning before the sun climbs high enough to burn through by 9 am.
As the weekend progresses, Saturday night might surprise residents with a sprinkle of rain showers after 1 am, which could turn into a mix with snow around 4 am. Conditions will seemingly plateau, with a 50% chance of precipitation and lows staying steady at 34 degrees. An increment in the wind is expected as it shifts north northeast blowing at a rate of 6 to 10 mph.
Coming into Sunday, the city faces a 30% chance of rain and snow showers before the afternoon arrives. Despite the overcast skies, temperatures will push to a peak near 39 degrees. The north wind will strengthen, reaching 11 to 13 mph, with possible gusts up to 20 mph, as reported by the weather authority. The forecast as we head into the new week doesn’t promise much change, with overcast conditions maintaining a stronghold and highs remaining stubborn at 39 degrees through at least Tuesday.
Relief in the form of clearer skies won’t come until midweek, as Wednesday promises partly sunny conditions with a high of 38 degrees. However, the overcast weather will roll back in during the night, leading into another partly sunny but slightly warmer Thursday with the mercury possibly climbing to 42 degrees. Forecast details have been sourced from the National Weather Service's latest update, which was last revised at 3:24 am EST on January 26.
