The city of Detroit is gearing up for varied weather conditions throughout the upcoming week, ranging from sunny skies to potential thunderstorms, according to the latest forecasts.

Friday amps up the likelihood of wet conditions, forecasting an 80% chance of showers and possible thunderstorms, both during the day and through to the early night.

The storms are forecasted to continue into the night, preceding a chance of showers and further storms later in the evening.
Over the weekend, Detroiters will see a mix of sunshine and thunderstorms, with Saturday's weather closely mirroring Friday's. There is a 60% chance of precipitation, primarily in the afternoon, with partly sunny conditions elevating temperatures to the high 70s.
