The weather in Detroit has taken a turn towards cooler and unsettled conditions, as residents can expect a mixture of sunshine and rain in the coming days. According to the latest update from the National Weather Service, today's weather will see increasing clouds with a gentle west wind, hitting a high near 59 degrees Fahrenheit.
As the evening draws near, Detroiters should prepare for mostly cloudy skies and a comfortable low around 45 degrees. Anyone planning to venture outdoors tonight might want to be mindful of the gusts, which could reach up to 21 mph. While Wednesday offers a partly sunny reprieve with a high near 62 degrees, there's a 40% chance to sharply increase their umbrella usage after 1 pm as rain begins to sprinkle over the Motor City.
By Wednesday night, the weather is expected to clear up, providing stargazers with mostly clear skies and a chillier low around 35 degrees. However, northwest winds will persist, gusting as high as 22 mph, so it might be wise to keep a jacket at arm's reach. "Mostly clear, with a low around 35. Northwest wind 6 to 13 mph, with gusts as high as 25 mph," according to the National Weather Service.
Thursday promises full-on sunshine with a high around 53 degrees, offering a brief respite, were it not for another round of rain predicted to possibly commence right after 1 am the following night. A 30% chance of precipitation indicates a flip of the coin whether Detroiters will wake up to wet streets or dry pavements. Friday ramps up the rainfall, with a forecasted 90% probability, signaling to residents to prepare for a wet end to the workweek.
The weekend, starting on Friday night, might continue to be damp with more chances of rain and temperatures dropping to a low of around 40. This pattern seems to linger into early next week, with predictions of rain and even potential snow by Sunday night and going into Monday. Daily high temperatures are expected to hover between the mid-40s and the low 50s, while nightly lows could dip slightly below freezing, especially by Sunday night when they're forecasted to hit 28 degrees, the National Weather Service reports.
