Brace yourselves, Detroiters, for a week of classic Motor City cloud cover and intermittent rain, according to the latest weather forecasts. The sun might be playing coy as we head into the weekend, with National Weather Service predicting today to stay mostly cloudy with highs teetering around the 53-degree mark. Southeast winds are expected to pick up lightly in the afternoon.
As nighttime descends, Detroit will likely maintain its cloud-streaked sky, dipping down to a comfy 41 degrees. Those calm winds are set to swing south post-midnight. Tomorrow ups the ante a little; here comes the breeze, gusting up to 21 mph amidst the grey expanse above us. The thermometer might crawl up to 57 degrees for those looking for a bit of a reprieve of the slight chill.
Come tomorrow night, Detroiters should keep their umbrellas close as there's a chance we'll see some rain between 7pm and 1am, before the skies clear up a bit. While the low may hover around 42 degrees, the west southwest winds could shake things up at 5 to 7 mph. At the start of our work week, Monday looks mostly sunny with highs reaching again near 57, before the prospect of rain creeps back into the nighttime forecast.
Tuesday promises more of the wet stuff, with rain on the books mainly before the afternoon hours. Those hoping to stay dry might find solace knowing that the likelihood of precipitation stands at 70%. As the week plows ahead, Wednesday through Friday dance a similar rainy tango. Daytime highs will generally linger around the mid-40s to the upper 50s, while the evenings will dip into the colder side, potentially down to 36 degrees.
