Detroit is waking up to clear skies today, but the one-day weather break comes with a catch: a stormier pattern is set to move in late tonight and linger through next Sunday. Temperatures will climb from around 72 early to near 91 in the afternoon. The weekend forecast then turns cooler, wetter, and potentially messy for outdoor plans.
Friday Starts Sunny, Then Clouds Build
Mostly sunny skies will dominate today, with a light west-southwest breeze of 2 to 7 mph and only a 3% chance of rain. Tonight will stay mild, with a low near 72 as clouds increase. A slight chance of showers arrives after 1 a.m., followed by a chance of showers and thunderstorms, according to the National Weather Service.
Saturday And Sunday Bring Heavy-Rain Concerns
Tomorrow will be cloudy with a high near 82, a chance of morning showers and thunderstorms most likely during the afternoon. The rain chance rises to 80% Saturday night, when three-quarters of an inch to 1 inch of new rainfall is possible. Next Sunday looks like the wettest day, with showers and thunderstorms, a high near 79, wind gusts up to 20 mph, and a potential 1 to 2 inches of rain.
Most areas are expected to receive at least a quarter-inch of rain through the weekend, but heavier downpours could create localized flooding, especially in urban areas. No watches, warnings, or advisories are currently listed, but residents with outdoor plans should keep an eye on changing forecasts and avoid driving through flooded streets.
Sunshine Returns Monday
The pattern finally settles next Monday, which is forecast to be mostly sunny with a high near 81 and a low around 62. Next Tuesday should remain mostly sunny and reach about 83, while Wednesday turns warmer again, with a high near 88 and a chance of afternoon showers. Today is the day to handle the patio plans, errands, and outdoor chores before the weekend gets a lot less cooperative.
