Detroit is gearing up for a varied climate experience. According to the forecast from the National Weather Service, Detroiters should expect patches of fog early today, but these will give way to mostly sunny skies with highs flirting with the 90-degree mark. The evening cools down slightly with a partly cloudy sky and lows resting at a balmy 74 degrees. Calm winds from the south will keep the breezes mild.

As the week progresses, the city could see showers and thunderstorms, especially before noon on Tuesday. Despite the risk of precipitation pegged at 30 percent, temperatures remain steadfast in their ascent, predicting highs in the low 90s accompanied by a gentle southwest wind. Pre-dawn Wednesday offers another opportunity for rain, with a 30 percent chance of showers and potential thunderstorms. The day promises a high near 90 again, with a gentle west-northwest breeze blowing at 5 to 8 mph. By evening, the thunderstorms should move out, likely driven away by the northwest wind.

Looking toward the tail end of the week, Thursday's forecast speaks of a partly sunny demeanor with a more temperate high of 83 degrees. The nighttime air holds onto the echo of warmth, sinking only to a near 67 degrees, while Friday forecasts a chance of afternoon showers and thunderstorms, with temperatures settling in the mid-80s.

The week ends on a sunny note, with the weekend forecast showing clear skies and highs in the low 80s. Sunday is expected to be another sunny day with a high of around 82 degrees.
