Detroit woke up to a cool, crisp, and mostly clear day today, with temperatures hovering near 56°F at area stations. Do not get too attached to the blue sky, though. Clouds are set to thicken through the afternoon, and highs should still climb to around 78°F before a soggy finish to the weekend moves in.
Evening Rain Risk
Rain showers are expected to arrive after about 8 p.m. today, with the chance of rain ramping up to around 90 percent overnight. Forecast guidance is calling for new rainfall totals of roughly 0.5 to 0.75 inch, with isolated pockets up to 1.5 inches from the I-94 corridor toward the Ohio line and the heaviest coverage south of I-69.
Showers may hang on tomorrow morning, before skies trend drier in the afternoon. Highs will be cooler, near 74°F, with northeast winds around 13 mph and gusts up to about 22 mph. A Small Craft Advisory is posted for parts of Lake Erie tomorrow. For full timing and marine details, check the forecast from the National Weather Service Detroit.
Boaters And Commuters
If your Sunday plans involve patios, parks, or open water, it is a good idea to move outdoor activities earlier or under cover and be ready for wet conditions after dark. Drivers should plan for slower travel tomorrow morning and avoid driving through standing water. Ponding in low spots is the main concern here, rather than any kind of widespread river flooding.
Where This Fits
As reported by Hoodline, this round of showers tacks on to a stormy stretch that hit Metro Detroit earlier this month, when midweek storms and localized flash ponding grabbed attention. If you have travel or outdoor plans for tomorrow, keep an eye on local traffic feeds and official forecast updates as the system moves through.
