Detroit rolled into this morning under cloudy, muggy skies and temperatures in the upper 60s, but the gloom will not last. Sunshine is expected to break through by afternoon and send most neighborhoods into the mid-80s. West winds will stay on the breezy side, especially along the riverfront and lakeshore, where gusts could make the commute a bit choppy and keep things cooler right by the water. The breeze backs off overnight as temperatures slip into the low 60s.
Afternoon Winds And Advisories
Skies should stay mostly sunny through the afternoon with west winds around 15 mph and gusts that could reach 25 mph. A Beach Hazards Statement and a Small Craft Advisory remain posted into midday for parts of the lakeshore and Saginaw Bay, so boaters and beachgoers will want to keep a close eye on conditions. Tonight looks clear with a low near 63°F before a warmer air mass starts building on Saturday, according to the National Weather Service Detroit.
Weekend Storms To Watch
Tomorrow cranks up the heat, with highs pushing toward 90°F ahead of a weak front arriving late tomorrow night. Showers and thunderstorms are likely overnight into next Sunday morning, and a few could become strong to severe, with the highest odds overnight across the Saginaw Valley and the Thumb.

How To Plan
Before tomorrow evening rolls in, secure tents, patio furniture, and any other loose items that might not appreciate a late-night flight across the yard, and have an indoor backup ready for outdoor plans. If you are thinking about heading out on the water, consider delaying recreational trips until the winds and waves calm down. Drivers should be ready for brief heavy downpours that can cut visibility and leave roads slick. Keep weather alerts enabled on your phone and double-check the forecast before heading out to evening events.
