Tonight, don't let the bedbugs bite or the scattered showers either, which are expected to peter out before 2 a.m. leaving behind cloudy skies that should clear up partly, with lows skirting around 40 degrees, the southwest winds might not let up with speeds clocking in at 14 to 17 mph and gusts as high as 25 mph, according to a forecast by the National Weather Service.

The rest of the week offers a seesaw of conditions: Wednesday will greet Detroiters with mostly cloudy skies and a high near 48, while Thursday offers a bit of a respite from the gloom with sunny skies and temperatures hovering at a pleasant 50 degrees.
