Light rain is falling across Detroit early today, but the soggy start should be short-lived. Temperatures near 70 degrees and sticky air will give way to a partly sunny afternoon, with highs reaching the upper 80s.
Rain Clears Before The Heat Builds
Showers and thunderstorms are likely through about 9 a.m., with a smaller chance lingering until 10 a.m. After that, skies should break up and conditions will turn mainly dry, while west-southwest winds run 6 to 9 mph.
Storm Chances Return Tonight
Another round of storms could develop tonight, especially between 8 and 9 p.m., with a slight chance continuing into the overnight hours. The National Weather Service Detroit/Pontiac office says the strongest storms early this week could bring damaging winds, large hail and brief heavy rain, with greater potential south toward the Ohio border.
There are no watches, warnings or advisories listed for Detroit at this time, but outdoor plans should stay flexible as storms may redevelop quickly. The latest local forecast is available from the National Weather Service.
Showers Fade As The Workweek Cools
Tomorrow will be partly sunny with a high near 84 and a chance of afternoon showers and thunderstorms. Wednesday stays warm near 85 with another afternoon storm chance, before mostly sunny and drier weather arrives Thursday and Friday, when highs ease to the low 80s.
Saturday and next Sunday bring another chance of showers, but the weekend forecast currently favors partly sunny intervals and temperatures near 80 degrees. In short: bring an umbrella for the morning commute, then keep the sunglasses handy.
