The city of Detroit braces for a mixture of sunny skies and potential rain showers in the coming week, according to the latest weather forecasts. Today—Detroiters should be on the lookout for showers and thunderstorms, particularly looming between the hours of 2 pm and 5 pm. As reported by the National Weather Service, the day will be mostly cloudy with highs flirting with 86 degrees, and blustery gusts that could reach as high as 21 mph, setting a tempestuous stage for the afternoon.
Tonight, the skies will clear somewhat, ushering in partly cloudy conditions and a dip in temperature to around 67 degrees. The winds are expected to slow to a mild 5 to 8 mph breeze from the northwest. Come Wednesday, residents can expect more agreeable weather with the day promising mostly sunny conditions and a thermometer reading nearing a comfortable 80 degrees. But dispelling any notion of a consistent breeze, the wind will vary at a gentle 3 to 7 mph pace.
The latter part of the week paints a serene picture with few clouds in sight from Wednesday night to Friday. Wednesday night is slated to be mostly clear with a low approaching 59 degrees, and the north-northwest wind whispers at around 7 mph, according to the forecast. Thursday and Friday will continue the trend with mostly sunny days, highs comfortably seated in the 76 to 81-degree range, and nights that offer a reprieve from the day's warmth at lows of 58 and 61 degrees respectively.
Looking ahead to the weekend, sunshine dominating, and highs peaking in the mid-80s range. Saturday night, though, has the possibility of being partly cloudy with the lapse in temperature bottoming out around 64 degrees. Similarly, on Sunday and into Sunday night, partly cloudy conditions are expected to revisit, surrounding highs of 84 and mild lows of 63. By Monday, the start of a new week will be mostly sunny with a high nearing 82 degrees, rounding off a predominantly clear and mild period for the city.
