Detroit is starting today under mostly cloudy skies with temperatures around 70 degrees, but a wetter pattern is moving in quickly. Showers are likely from 7 a.m. through the afternoon, with the high reaching about 82 degrees.
Sunday Brings Showers, With Heavier Rain North
Rain chances are around 60% today, with south-southwest winds of 3 to 9 mph and rainfall generally ranging from a tenth to a quarter of an inch. According to the National Weather Service Detroit/Pontiac, the heaviest rain threat is north of Detroit, especially across the Thumb, where repeated showers and storms could produce localized flooding and 2 to 4 inches of rain. No watches, warnings, or advisories are in effect for Detroit.
Showers and thunderstorms remain possible tonight, with a low near 70 degrees and additional rain chances popping up intermittently overnight. Severe storms are not expected to be the main concern, but brief heavy downpours could still make outdoor plans and late-night driving messy.
Heat Builds Monday Through Wednesday
Tomorrow starts with another chance of showers and thunderstorms before the sky settles into mostly cloudy conditions, with a high near 89 degrees. Tuesday climbs to about 92 with a slight chance of showers, followed by Wednesday's expected high near 94 and another chance for thunderstorms.
Cooler, Unsettled Weather Returns Late Week
Temperatures ease back to around 87 Thursday, 83 Friday and 82 Saturday, though rain and thunderstorm chances continue through much of the stretch. Overnight lows should fall from the low 70s early in the week to the mid-60s by Friday and Saturday.
The forecast marks a substantial shift from Hoodline's earlier Detroit weather outlook, which had called for a mostly sunny run through Saturday. For next Sunday, umbrellas and flexible plans are the safer bet; the bigger weather twist arrives after that, when summer heat makes a quick return.
