Detroit residents should be ready for a mixed bag of weather in the coming week, as per the weather forecast. Starting today, there's a "slight chance of showers before 11am, then a chance of showers and thunderstorms between 11am and 2pm, then showers likely and possibly a thunderstorm after 2pm," with a high near 88 degrees, as reported by the National Weather Service. Winds from the west-southwest are expected to blow at 5 to 7 mph, providing little relief from the humidity. The likelihood of precipitation is marked at 60%, with potential rainfall measuring between a quarter and half an inch.
Bringing an umbrella would be wise for those planning to step out tonight, as weather forecasts predict "showers likely and possibly a thunderstorm before 8pm," followed by chances of continuing showers and thunderstorms going into the early hours, according to the NWS. The southeast wind will be circling around 7 mph, and the chance of rain doesn't wane, holding steady at 60%. Rainfall could vary, but expect between a tenth and a quarter of an inch; however, stronger thunderstorms might bring more.
Tomorrow's forecast isn't looking any drier, with the National Weather Service announcing a "chance of showers, then showers likely and possibly a thunderstorm after 2pm." The city will see a mix of sun and clouds along with temperatures climbing near 89 degrees. Wind could reach more blustery levels, with gusts as high as 18 mph blowing from the southwest. The National Weather Service pegs tomorrow's precipitation chances higher, at 70%.
Looking towards the weekend, the weather takes a turn for the better. Saturday promises a mostly sunny outlook with a pleasant high around 84 degrees and a calming west-northwest wind at about 7 mph. As nighttime falls, the sky is expected to remain mostly clear, providing a tranquil end to the day with lows around 67. Sunday continues the sunny trend, with the thermometer reaching up near 89 degrees, while Sunday night's partial cloud coverage brings the mercury down slightly to a 72-degree low.
However, as Monday comes around, the cycle of thunderstorms appears to restart. "Showers likely and possibly a thunderstorm, mainly after 2pm," signifies a possible disruptive start to the workweek, with partly sunny skies and a high teetering near the 90-degree mark, as stated by the NWS. This stormy pattern is similarly forecasted for Monday night, though diminishing a bit towards Tuesday with a return to clear, sunny weather.
