Tonight's forecast continues the hazy trend, coupled with partly cloudy skies and lows around 70 degrees. Gusts might amp up to as high as 25 mph, making for a breezy evening in the Motor City. As Wednesday approaches, residents should be wary of showers that might strike after 2 pm, with a high near 89 degrees.

Transitioning into Thursday, locals might encounter showers mainly before 8 am. The day should clear up gradually, moving towards mostly sunny conditions with a high near 75 degrees. A modest northeast wind will accompany it at around 8 mph. As we head into the night, the clouds will regather strength, and with a 30% chance of showers after 2 am, residents should keep an umbrella within reach. Friday's weather narrative is similar, with partly sunny skies and a parity of chances for more showers.
Looking towards the weekend, the forecast promises respite with mostly sunny weather on Saturday and a high close to 74 degrees, falling to a clear 56 degrees at night. The pleasant weather is anticipated to continue into Sunday, with nearly identical conditions. However, both Sunday night and Monday introduce the possibility of showers again, though the days will remain partly sunny with highs in the upper 70s.
