Detroit is starting Sunday, October 4, with mainly mid-level clouds that morning, then warming quickly toward a sunny high near 71. Winds are calm early but will turn westerly and build to around 10 mph, making this one of the easier days this week for a walk, yard work or an outdoor game.

Sunny Sunday Gives Way To A Cooler Monday

Rain is unlikely in Detroit today, with only a small chance of a shower in the broader region. The National Weather Service says any light morning showers should favor areas north of Interstate 69, while Detroit stays mostly dry and bright.

Temperatures will drop to around 47 tonight under mostly clear skies. Monday stays sunny but much cooler, with a high near 60 and a low in the 30s; the frost concern is focused more on inland areas north of the city Monday night.

Mostly Sunny Through Next Weekend

The cool-down is brief. Tuesday climbs to about 65, Wednesday reaches 72, and Thursday and Friday settle near the upper 60s, with mostly sunny skies and precipitation chances near zero.

Saturday is also forecast to be sunny with a high near 68. No watches, warnings or advisories are posted for Detroit in the supplied forecast, so the main practical takeaway is simple: enjoy Sunday’s warmth, then keep a jacket handy for Monday morning.
