Metro Detroit started Sunday in a fog bank, with a Dense Fog Advisory in effect through 10 a.m. and visibility potentially dropping to a quarter-mile or less in the thickest pockets. The payoff arrives later: fog should lift by late morning, skies turn partly sunny, and temperatures climb to around 70 degrees.
Fog Slows The Morning, Then Sunshine Takes Over
The National Weather Service says dense fog is spreading across metro Detroit and nearby parts of southeast Michigan, making for a potentially rough early drive. Drivers should slow down, use low-beam headlights, and leave extra space between vehicles while the advisory remains active.
Once the fog burns off, Sunday should become noticeably more pleasant. Temperatures are expected to rise through the 50s late morning and reach around 70 degrees during the afternoon, with light south-southwest winds around 2 to 7 mph and no meaningful rain expected.
Monday May Bring Another Foggy Start
The same general pattern could return Monday morning, with patchy fog possible before 9 a.m. Monday afternoon should turn partly sunny with a high near 67, although winds will shift to the northwest behind a dry front.
The recurring fog-and-sun setup has been a theme in recent Detroit forecasts, as noted in an earlier Hoodline forecast. This time, however, the official advisory makes the early commute the part of the forecast worth taking seriously.
Cooler Tuesday Before Another Warm-Up
Temperatures ease back Tuesday, with partly sunny skies and a high near 61. Above-normal temperatures are expected to return in the middle to late part of the week.
Better rain prospects are expected along a cold front late Thursday into Friday. For Sunday, the main weather story is simple: take the fog seriously early, then enjoy a surprisingly mild fall afternoon.
