Detroit started Monday with mist and patchy fog, but the gray opening should give way to a mostly pleasant afternoon. Temperatures will climb to around 67 degrees before easing slightly, with light north-northwest winds and little chance of rain.
Fog is expected to thin by about 10 a.m. Monday, leaving partly sunny skies for much of the day. Drivers should still give themselves a little extra patience during the morning commute, especially where visibility is slow to improve.
Cooler Tuesday Before A Quick Warmup
Monday night will turn mostly cloudy, with temperatures falling to about 45 degrees and northeast winds between 6 and 9 mph. Tuesday will be cooler but still fairly mild for late October, with partly sunny skies and a high near 62.
The larger shift arrives Wednesday and Thursday, when highs are expected to reach about 70 and 74 degrees, respectively. The National Weather Service Detroit/Pontiac says dry weather should hold through Thursday afternoon, making the middle of the week the best stretch for outdoor plans.
Rain Chances Return Late Thursday
A slight chance of light rain develops Thursday night, mainly between 8 p.m. and 2 a.m., before Friday turns partly sunny with a high near 69. Saturday should remain mild and partly sunny, with temperatures near 68 and only a small chance of rain.
The next more noticeable rain chance arrives Sunday, when mostly cloudy skies and a 37% chance of rain accompany a high near 67. There are no watches, warnings or advisories posted for Detroit at this time, according to the National Weather Service Detroit/Pontiac.
The latest outlook builds on Hoodline's earlier Detroit forecast, extending the mild pattern beyond the weekend while adding a clearer warmup for Wednesday and Thursday. In short, the week starts foggy, gets warmer in the middle, and saves its umbrella cameo for the back half.
