Detroit is waking Saturday under clear skies near 45 degrees, but patchy fog could still linger in spots through midmorning. Once it lifts, sunshine takes over and temperatures climb to around 65, setting up an unusually mild late-October weekend.

Fog Clears Before A Sunny Afternoon

Patchy fog is expected to fade by about 10 a.m., with light southerly winds and no rain in the forecast. The National Weather Service Detroit/Pontiac says the afternoon should remain sunny, with temperatures reaching the mid-60s.

Sunday Looks Warmest Before Cooler Air Arrives

Saturday night will be partly cloudy with a low near 48, and patchy fog may return after 2 a.m. Sunday could be the warmest day of the stretch, reaching about 70 degrees under mostly sunny skies after early fog clears. Drivers may encounter reduced visibility Sunday morning, and any fog should dissipate around 10 a.m.

Dry Forecast Holds Through The Week

Monday brings another round of early fog before mostly sunny skies, with highs in the upper 50s to low 60s Monday and Tuesday. Cooler air arrives Monday night and Tuesday, when temperatures top out around 58 under mostly cloudy skies. Wednesday rebounds to about 66, followed by a sunny Thursday near 70, with only limited shower chances appearing late in the outlook. The update sharpens the warm-weekend trend outlined in Hoodline's earlier Detroit forecast.
