Morning commuters in Detroit may need to budget a little extra time as patches of dense fog are expected to obscure the roads until 11 am today. Once the fog lifts, residents can anticipate a mostly sunny day with comfortable temperatures reaching a high near 78 degrees and a calm breeze that will later settle from the southeast at around 5 mph in the afternoon. The foggy conditions are likely to return briefly after 1 am tonight, with partly cloudy skies and a low of around 60 degrees, according to the National Weather Service. 

For those looking towards the midweek forecast, Wednesday will echo today's early fog, which should dissipate by 9 am, paving the way for mostly sunny skies and a pleasant high of about 83 degrees. The calm wind will shift south at around 6 mph in the afternoon. During the night, expect a mostly clear sky with a low settling around 60 degrees, while a south-southeast wind slows to a calm as evening falls.

The latter half of the week promises continued sunny spells with Thursday's temperatures soaring to a high near 86 degrees. Light winds from the east-southeast will pick up between 5 and 7 mph in the afternoon. Despite partly cloudy skies rolling in Thursday night, the lows will remain comfortable at approximately 64 degrees.

As Friday approaches, the city will observe a mix of sun and clouds with highs continuing in the lower 80s, and nightfall brings mostly cloudy conditions, alongside a low around 65 degrees. The weekend outlook suggests a streak of mostly sunny days with high placements in the lower 80s, with nighttime lows consistent at around 65 degrees. Looking ahead to early next week, there's a chance of showers on Monday, while the day is still expected to be partly sunny with highs again approaching 80 degrees.
