Detroit is waking to clear skies and temperatures in the low 60s today, with a sunny afternoon ahead. The city should warm to about 81 degrees, making for a comfortable start to the week with no rain in the forecast.

A north wind near 8 mph will keep conditions pleasant, while patchy morning fog in parts of Lower Michigan should fade quickly. The National Weather Service says high pressure will keep Southeast Michigan dry tomorrow, with cooler nights dipping into the upper 50s and low 60s.

Warm-Up Builds Through Midweek

Tomorrow will stay sunny and a bit warmer, with a high near 83 and a low around 63 overnight. Wednesday could reach 86 degrees as humidity and clouds begin to increase ahead of the next weather system.

A slight chance of showers returns late Wednesday, followed by a better chance of showers and thunderstorms Thursday. Thursday’s high is expected to reach 84, and Friday will bring another chance of storms, especially before the afternoon, with a high near 84.

Weekend Looks Mostly Dry

Saturday and next Sunday are currently shaping up mostly sunny and warmer, with highs near 87 and 89 degrees, respectively. Each day carries only a slight chance of an afternoon shower or thunderstorm, and no watches, warnings or advisories are listed for the area.
