Residents in Detroit should be ready for a variety of weather conditions this week, as forecasts from the National Weather Service indicate a mix of fog, rain, and even potential snow. Kicking things off, there's "patchy fog before 11am" today with cloudy skies following, and temperatures peaking near 41 degrees, according to the National Weather Service. For those planning an evening stroll, expect more fog after 8 pm, though it will be mostly cloudy with a low around 32 degrees during the night.
As Thursday rolls in, locals can see mostly cloudy skies once again, with highs pushing up to a warmer 48 degrees. Come nighttime, it’s time to bring out the umbrellas. "Rain. Low around 42. South southeast wind 9 to 15 mph, with gusts as high as 28 mph. Chance of precipitation is 100%.

Later that evening, the thermometer dips back down to a cooler 35 degrees. The end of the week sets an unpredictable stage, urging residents to keep their raincoats handy and possibly their winter boots as well.
