At 5:35 a.m. today, Detroit is starting the day at about 66°F under clear skies. Mostly sunny skies are on tap, with a high near 85°F and light northeast winds around 5 to 8 mph, setting up a textbook summer day before warmer temperatures return midweek.
Foggy Mornings, Sunny Afternoons
Skies are expected to stay dry tonight, but patchy fog is likely to creep in late today into early tomorrow, especially after about 2 a.m. tomorrow. Overnight lows will hold in the mid to upper 60s, and any fog should burn off quickly after sunrise, leaving mostly sunny conditions by mid-morning.
Warming Trend And Storms Later This Week
Temperatures climb into the upper 80s Wednesday, with a high near 88°F, and again Thursday, with a high around 89°F. The next real chance for showers and thunderstorms arrives Thursday afternoon into the evening. The National Weather Service says a humid air mass could let storms produce locally heavy downpours and brief flooding, and the forecast shows about a 40% chance of storms Thursday with higher odds late Thursday night, according to NWS Detroit.
Plan Ahead For Commutes And Events
Morning commutes tomorrow may be the trickiest part of the week, as shallow fog can cut visibility near bridges and low-lying corridors. Drivers should allow extra time and use low-beam headlights. For Thursday afternoon events, it is worth lining up an indoor backup plan. Scattered storms can be slow-moving and drop an inch or more of rain in a short time, leading to standing water and travel delays. Keep phones set to receive weather alerts and check updated forecasts before heading out.
Where To Get Updates
This midweek shift follows a run of hot, humid days earlier in the week and scattered storm reports across the region.
