Detroit is set for a mixed bag of cloudy skies and potential rain outbreaks this week, as per the latest weather forecasts. There's a 40% chance that today's rhythms will be interrupted by rain showers post-10 am, with temperatures hovering near a comfortable 67 degrees, and the northeast wind blowing at a modest 8 to 10 mph.
As the sun dips, Detroiters gearing up for the night might want to keep their umbrellas handy. The chance of precipitation lingers at 40%, with a low around 52 amid gusty north-northeast winds of up to 20 mph. Weather buffs can find the full spiel at the National Weather Service.
The rest of the week doesn't offer much of a reprieve; Wednesday promises mostly cloudy skies with a high around 71, and those gusts aren't giving up, peaking at 21 mph. By Wednesday night, the clouds part slightly, granting Detroit a partly cloudy reprieve and a low of 54 as the north wind calms down just a tad.
Thursday's looking like the week's champ, with "mostly sunny" written all over it and a high near 76. But the peace is short-lived. As night descends, and likely after 2 am, rain showers may once again play spoilsport, kicking off a 40% chance of precipitation.
For those banking on a dry end to the workweek, Friday's forecast might wrinkle some brows. The weather watchdogs are talking about "showers likely and possibly a thunderstorm after 2 pm," stuffing the clouds with a 60% chance of bursting open. A similar fate awaits Friday evening, with prevailing showers and potential storms "before 2 am, then a chance of showers and thunderstorms after 2 am" while the low hovers around 60, as per the National Weather Service.
Looking toward the weekend, Saturday's daytime might cut Detroiters some slack with a partly sunny outlook and a high nearing 78, but don't stow away those umbrellas yet. Showers might swing by on Saturday night, followed by a Sunday that teases with "a chance of showers and thunderstorms" and a high reaching up to 80 degrees.
