According to the latest forecast, residents in Detroit should brace themselves for a variable week of weather, ranging from partly sunny skies to a mix of rain and snow. The National Weather Service predicts today's conditions will be partly sunny with a high near 32 degrees. Westerly winds will persist at a gentle 6 to 8 mph.
The evening will bring partly cloudy skies, with temperatures expected to dip to around 22. The winds, described as light and variable, won't provide much resistance to the creeping chill of a late winter night. Come Monday, the sun is forecasted to break through more dominantly, propelling temperatures to a more comfortable high near 41, propelled by a south southwest wind that'll pick up from a mere whisper to a modest 5 to 10 mph as the morning progresses.
As the week unfolds, Detroiters should keep an umbrella close at hand. A chance of showers after 1 am on Monday is just the prelude to what could be a wet few days. The percentage of precipitation climbs, ushering in rain likely, mainly before 1 pm on Tuesday, with cloudy skies holding a high near 47 degrees. The National Weather Service foretells that gusts could reach up to 18 mph amidst the rainfall. Tuesday night's outlook is an assured rain with a low around 44 degrees, and the certainty of precipitation continues unabated into Wednesday.
Midweek, the city is forecast to experience persistent rain, with highs cresting at an unseasonably warm 55 degrees. However, residents will witness a shift come Wednesday night as the forecast anticipates rain before 1 am, then rain and snow likely, coupled with a plunge in temperature to near the freezing point. The remainder of the week offers scant respite from the volatility, with the forecast swinging back to partly sunny come Saturday, setting a high near 39.
