Residents of Detroit can expect a week of typical fall weather, with a mix of sun and clouds, and a chance of rain as the Thanksgiving holiday approaches, according to the latest forecasts. The skies will be mostly sunny today with the temperature climbing to a high near 46 degrees, while the wind shifts from the north to the west in the afternoon, reports the National Weather Service. Tonight, clouds will move in and temperatures will dip to around 36 degrees.
Looking towards Sunday, Detroiters will enjoy more sun with a high near 50 degrees, though it could get blustery with west-northwest winds reaching up to 24 mph. The weekend will not be deterred by these gusts, and outdoor activities can continue as such. Sunday night will cool down significantly to around 30 degrees as the wind calms, setting the scene for a clear and crisp evening. Entering the workweek, Monday's forecast indicates a persistence of sunny skies and high temperatures around 50 degrees; however, the rain could arrive Monday night, with the Weather Service predicting a 60% chance of rainfall after 1 a.m. and temperatures holding steady in the low 40s.
The likelihood of wet weather ramps up on Tuesday, with an 80% chance of rain forecasted, particularly before 1 p.m., and temperatures rising to a high near 55 degrees. Tuesday night may also see some lingering showers while the skies stay mostly cloudy overhead and temperatures hover in the upper 30s.
The Weather Service anticipates that Wednesday will bring more clouds with a high near 49 degrees, though rain isn't expected during the day. Leading up to Thanksgiving, winds will likely feel cooler with temperatures dropping down to around 30 degrees come Wednesday night. Thanksgiving Day itself looks to be cloudy with a seasonal chill in the air; turkey day highs are forecast to stabilize around 39 degrees, and as families gather, the crisp air will be a gentle reminder of the season's progression into shorter days and longer nights. The rest of the week maintains the cool trend, as temperatures plummet further on Thursday night, with lows near 26 degrees and a partly sunny Friday, culminating in a peak temperature close to 38 degrees.
