Freezing fog rolled into parts of Metro Detroit early today, laying down patchy, icy mist that is thickest north of I‑69. Temperatures sit in the mid‑20s this morning, and visibility has dipped in spots, slowing some surface commutes. Forecasters expect the fog to thin after sunrise, with skies turning mostly sunny and afternoon highs near 44°F.
Morning Commute
The National Weather Service describes this morning’s fog as "highly variable," with the densest patches most likely north of I‑69 and in the Tri Cities, where visibility can briefly drop fast. Drivers are urged to build in extra time, stick with low beams and ease off the gas when sightlines disappear.
Afternoon And Week Ahead
Once the haze burns off, Sunday shapes up to be mostly sunny and relatively mild for mid‑February, topping out near 44°F with a light southwest breeze. Monday, Washington’s Birthday on February 16, should bring partly sunny skies, a high around 45°F and wind gusts that could push into the upper teens.
Midweek Rain To Watch
The next organized system moves in Tuesday night into Wednesday, February 17–18, bringing likely rain across the region and a noticeable bump in temperatures, with Wednesday highs in the low to mid‑50s. A brief wintry mix could show up at the start near and north of the Tri Cities and the northern Thumb, but for Metro Detroit, the main story looks to be plain rain.
