Detroit is waking to clear skies and temperatures in the low-to-mid 50s Tuesday morning, with patchy fog possible before 10 a.m. The fog should burn off quickly, making way for a sunny afternoon and a high near 75.

Sunny Tuesday, Then Clouds Move In

After the fog lifts, winds will stay light before turning southerly at up to 7 mph, with no rain expected. The National Weather Service forecast also includes partly cloudy skies and a low near 58.

Wednesday will remain mild and partly sunny, with a high near 76 and only a slight chance of rain during the day. Shower chances increase Wednesday night, with a 30% chance of showers after 2 a.m. Thursday.

Rain Chances Build Late Week

Thursday could be the warmest day of the stretch, reaching about 78 degrees with mostly cloudy skies, though rain timing remains uncertain. Southwest winds will run around 8 to 12 mph, so the day may feel breezier than Tuesday even before the rain becomes more organized.

Rain chances were expected to be higher Friday, with showers tapering Friday night. The late-week system was forecast to bring around an inch or more of precipitation by Friday night, especially north of M-59, giving commuters and outdoor plans a reason to keep a backup option handy.

Cooler Weekend Follows

The wet weather should ease Friday night, followed by a mostly sunny Saturday with a high near 64. Sunday looks partly sunny and slightly warmer at 66 degrees, while overnight lows dip into the 40s.

Monday brings a sunnier but cooler finish, with a high near 61. No watches, warnings or advisories are listed for the Detroit area at this time.
