Detroit is waking up today under cloudy skies, sticky air, and temperatures around 72°F, but the day will warm quickly. The city is headed for a high near 86°F, with mostly pleasant morning conditions giving way to a few pop-up showers and thunderstorms later in the afternoon.
Afternoon Storms Stay Hit Or Miss
This morning should be mostly dry, while storm chances rise after about 2 p.m. The National Weather Service Detroit/Pontiac says any stronger cells could bring brief heavy downpours and isolated wind gusts near 40 mph, though widespread severe weather is not expected.
Storm activity should ease this evening, but another round of showers or thunderstorms could develop overnight. Temperatures will dip only to around 69°F, and the muggy air may produce patchy fog early tomorrow.
Friday Looks Like The Wettest Day Before The Weekend
Tomorrow will also reach about 86°F, with mostly cloudy skies and a 60% chance of showers and thunderstorms. The best chance arrives from the afternoon into early evening, so outdoor plans may need a flexible backup, especially during the late-day commute.
Saturday stays warm with a high near 88°F and a mix of sunshine and clouds. A few showers or thunderstorms remain possible, but the overall rain chance is lower at about 30%.
Sunday Starts Sunny Before Storm Chances Return
Next Sunday should begin mostly sunny with a high near 86°F, followed by a chance of showers and thunderstorms after 2 p.m. Storm chances increase Sunday night, and showers and thunderstorms are likely next Monday as temperatures remain in the mid-80s.
No Advisories Are In Effect
The forecast carries no watches, warnings, or advisories for Detroit, but thunder still means it is time to head indoors. Drivers should also watch for slick roads and sudden downpours, while anyone with outdoor plans should keep an umbrella and a weather app nearby.
