Detroit is getting the kind of October Tuesday that makes winter feel like somebody else’s problem. The current Detroit-area forecast points to sunny conditions, with highs in the mid-60s to lower 70s today through Thursday.

Sunny Tuesday, Crisp Night

Tuesday night will be cool, according to the National Weather Service’s Detroit point forecast.

Sunshine Through Saturday

The forecast calls for sunny conditions through Saturday, with Friday potentially cooler, according to the National Weather Service’s current point forecast.

Fog Could Briefly Complicate Some Mornings

Light easterly winds off the lakes and moisture moving in from Lake Erie could bring fog to parts of southeast Michigan overnight into early Wednesday, with better chances near Lake Erie and west toward Adrian and Ann Arbor. The National Weather Service flags early Wednesday as the period of lowest visibility risk; any fog in its aviation forecast is expected to burn off after sunrise. No watches, warnings or advisories are in effect. The latest forecast discussion outlines the fog potential, and the Detroit/Pontiac office’s hazards page lists the current alert status.
