Detroit woke to mostly cloudy skies and temperatures around 68 degrees this morning, but the day is shaping up to be a comfortable one. Clouds will thin into partly sunny conditions, with highs near 82 and only a small chance of rain. The bigger weather plot twist waits until the weekend.
Friday Looks Like the Easy Outdoor Day
Tomorrow should bring the best weather window, with sunny skies, light east winds and a high near 83 degrees. The National Weather Service Detroit/Pontiac office expects dry conditions to hold through tomorrow before a storm system approaches the region.
Saturday will start with a chance of showers around 8 a.m., followed by more widespread showers and thunderstorms later in the day. Rain chances rise to about 80%, although the forecast calls for breaks of sunshine and says severe weather is not expected.
Cooler, Windier Weather Arrives Sunday
Showers and thunderstorms could linger into early next Sunday before skies turn mostly sunny. Temperatures will drop back to around 79 degrees, while northwest winds may gust between 25 and 30 mph, making it a blustery finish to the weekend.
No watches, warnings, or advisories were in effect for Detroit as of this morning. Still, anyone planning outdoor events Saturday should keep an eye on the sky and have a backup plan for a wet afternoon.
Next Week Starts Calm
Next Monday looks sunny and cooler, with a high near 79 and no rain expected. Next Tuesday warms back to around 82 under mostly sunny skies, while another chance of showers and thunderstorms develops Wednesday afternoon as temperatures reach the mid-80s.
In short, Detroit gets two pleasant days before Saturday's unsettled weather, then a cooler reset next Sunday. Tomorrow is the day to grab the patio table; Saturday may be better suited for indoor plans and a radar check.
