Residents of Detroit should brace for a mixed bag of weather conditions this week, with forecasts including flurries, rain, and snow, as well as some sunny days ahead. According to the latest updates provided by the National Weather Service, there's a possibility of flurries before 2 p.m. today, proceeding under mostly sunny skies with a high near 38 degrees. Strong northwest winds of 15 to 17 mph could include gusts as high as 26 mph.

Tonight, the skies will clear up partly, dipping to a low around 27. The northwest wind will simmer down to 5 to 9 mph, becoming light and variable. Come Sunday, Detroiters can expect rain and snow after 5 p.m. with a high near 43 degrees. The southeast wind won't be too kind either, running at 6 to 15 mph, and stirring up gusts that could top out at 24 mph. The chance of precipitation stands firm at 80%, though snow accumulation is expected to be minimal.

The wet conditions are set to persist into Sunday night with rain primarily before 11 p.m. As the temperatures hover around 38 degrees, a south-southeast wind of 10 to 13 mph will shift southwest post-midnight, possibly gusting as high as 22 mph. There's an 80% chance of precipitation, with new rainfall amounts landing between a tenth and a quarter of an inch possible.

By Monday, the city will see mostly cloudy skies, with temperatures reaching a high near 46 degrees. The breeziness remains with a west-southwest wind of 14 to 18 mph, gusting up to 32 mph. Monday night's clouds will keep temperatures at a low of around 33 degrees. The rest of the week seems to offer a slight reprieve from the wet and windy conditions, with partly sunny to mostly sunny skies from Tuesday through Thursday and high temperatures gradually warming up to 54 degrees, by Thursday. Friday brings a new chance of rain into the mixture, warming to a high near 58 degrees under mostly cloudy skies,
