Detroit is starting today with mostly clear skies and temperatures in the low 70s, but the quiet start will not last all day. Showers and thunderstorms may pop up through early afternoon before the city warms to about 86 degrees, setting up a humid stretch that turns hotter tomorrow and Wednesday.
Today's rain chance is highest during the morning, with scattered showers and storms possible through around 2 p.m. Most areas could see between a tenth and a quarter-inch of rain, while southwest winds of 6 to 12 mph may gust as high as 20 mph, according to the National Weather Service Detroit/Pontiac.
Heat Builds Into Tuesday And Wednesday
Tomorrow will be mostly sunny and hotter, with a high near 91 degrees and a slight chance of rain showers from late morning into the afternoon. A few thunderstorms could develop later in the day, and the weather service says any stronger storm could bring gusty winds, hail, or a heavy downpour.
Wednesday looks like the warmest day of the week, with mostly sunny skies and a high near 92. Storm chances rise after 2 p.m., followed by a more active Wednesday night when showers and thunderstorms become likely.
Storm Chances Continue Before A Cooler Weekend
Thursday brings another chance of showers and thunderstorms with a high near 86, while Friday could see a few rain showers before 2 p.m. The pattern is a notable update from Hoodline's earlier Detroit forecast, with the latest outlook dialing back the peak temperatures while adding clearer timing for the midweek storm threat.
Relief arrives late in the week. Friday night should dip to about 64 degrees, followed by a sunny Saturday near 82 and a mostly sunny next Sunday near 81, although a slight chance of afternoon showers returns next Sunday.
No Watches Or Warnings Are Posted
No watches, warnings or advisories are currently in effect for Detroit or nearby waters. Even so, residents with Tuesday and Wednesday outdoor plans should keep an eye on changing skies, move indoors when thunder is heard, and expect some roads to become slick during heavier downpours.
