Detroit residents can expect to keep their umbrellas close at hand with scattered showers threatening to gracefully interrupt an otherwise partly sunny day. According to the National Weather Service, there's a 40% chance that rain will begin to pattern the city streets between 2 pm and 5 pm today, followed by an increased likelihood of showers and thunderstorms post 5 pm. The high is anticipated to be a pleasant 77 degrees with a gentle breeze of a west wind moving at 5 to 8 mph.
As night falls, the symphony of potential thunderstorms is set to quietly taper off before 1 am. The departing clouds will leave behind a mostly cloudy sky, as the temperature takes a subtle dip to around 52 degrees, escorted by a northwest wind blowing at a consistent 8 to 10 mph.
The weekend promises a respite from the rain, with Saturday's skies mostly sunny and temperature capping at a cooler 66 degrees. A north-northwest wind will make itself felt, blowing firmly at 11 to 14 mph, and occasionally flexing its strength with gusts as high as 23 mph. The night is expected to follow suit with clear skies and a calming low around 47 degrees, while the northwest wind slows to a gentle 5 to 9 mph before becoming light after midnight.
Continuing the trend, Sunday's forecast spells out a day full of sunshine with temperatures climbing up to a comfortable 72 degrees. The northwest wind's presence remains consistent, tending to blow at 6 to 10 mph. And as the sun decides to finally set, the sky plans to barely a star with its mostly clear canvas and a low hovering around 50 degrees. This string of sunny days will stretch into the early week, with Monday seeing a high near 80 and the night maintaining clear skies as the mercury hits around 60 degrees, as detailed in the extended forecast by the National Weather Service.
Looking further ahead, Tuesday's temperatures are preparing to rise even further, reaching a summery 88 degrees under sunny skies, whereas the evening sky is slated to be merely partly cloudy with a low around 68. However, by Wednesday, the chance for showers returns to the forecast, with the day being partly sunny and highs again climbing to 87 degrees. A prediction of likely showers comes with Wednesday night, accompanying mostly cloudy conditions and a low around 64.
