Detroit is starting today near 58 degrees with clear skies and a patchy fog risk, but the murk should lift by midmorning. Sunshine then takes over, with temperatures climbing to a comfortable 77 degrees and light east-northeast winds around 6 mph.

Fog Burns Off Before A Sunny Afternoon

The National Weather Service expects dry conditions today, with no watches, warnings or advisories posted for the Detroit area. Tonight will turn partly cloudy, with temperatures settling near 62 degrees before slowly rising overnight.

Warm Weekend Brings A Small Storm Chance

Tomorrow will be warmer, reaching about 83 degrees under partly sunny skies. A slight chance of rain showers arrives before 2 p.m., followed by a small chance of showers and thunderstorms, but the overall rain chance remains just 20%.

Tomorrow night should quiet down quickly, with only a slight chance of showers before 8 PM. Next Sunday then looks mostly sunny with a high near 81, while next Sunday night turns mostly cloudy and cooler, dipping to around 58 degrees.

Tuesday Starts The Next Weather Turn

Next Monday stays mostly sunny and mild near 75 degrees, but the pattern becomes more active next Tuesday. Highs could reach 85 degrees ahead of a 38% chance of showers and thunderstorms, with southwest winds increasing to 13 to 16 mph.

Rain chances remain elevated next Wednesday and Thursday, when highs are expected to run in the mid-to-upper 70s. The latest outlook sharpens that midweek transition from Hoodline's Thursday forecast, giving Detroit a clean day and mostly manageable weekend before showers become more likely next Tuesday night through Thursday.
