Motor City residents, brace yourselves for a rollercoaster of weather conditions over the next week. According to the latest reports from the National Weather Service, Detroiters can expect a mix of showers, flurries, and mostly cloudy days heading their way. The Detroit 7-Day Weather Forecast highlights a 50% chance of rain kicking off this afternoon, with temperatures reaching a relatively warm high near 60 degrees. But hold onto your hats – gusts could whip through the city at speeds as high as 31 mph.

Tonight's forecast isn't looking much drier, with a 50% chance of showers before the stroke of midnight. However, those clouds are expected to part ways eventually, giving way to a cooler low around 35. The west wind won't be sleeping either, maintaining a steady 10 to 15 mph, along with gusts that could reach 28 mph. Residents should take note, that temperamental weather is not quite done yet.

The unpredictable spring dance continues into Sunday, with a chance of flurries appearing after 3pm despite partly sunny skies earlier on. The highest temperature for the day will hover near 45 degrees. The gusts aren't retreating just yet – with predictions of up to 21 mph.

The forthcoming nights seem to follow a similar pattern, with mostly cloudy skies and low temperatures ranging from the high 20s to low 30s. Monday night, in particular, is forecasted to dip down to around 28 degrees. But there's at least one silver lining in the clouds – Wednesday is expected to be mostly sunny, with a high near 45, giving Detroiters a short break from the gloom.

As the week progresses, partial sunshine will be a tease with temperatures barely climbing into the mid-40s. Thursday night, however, could bring a messy mix of rain and snow showers as the low settles around 32 degrees. And the week wraps up on a rather indecisive note: Friday could see more rain and snow, capping off a week of moody Michigan skies.
