Detroit is starting Friday with light rain, gray skies and temperatures in the mid to upper 50s, but the thermometer is headed in the wrong direction. West winds will strengthen through the day, with gusts around 30 mph and a few stronger bursts possible as cooler air moves in.
Rain And Wind Take Over Friday
Rain is likely after 3 p.m. and may continue into the evening. Temperatures should slip from the mid to upper 50s in the morning to the mid-50s by late afternoon, while west-northwest winds run 13 to 16 mph.
The National Weather Service forecast calls for gusts near 30 mph and a low around 38 degrees Friday night. Showers should taper as skies gradually clear, though it will remain blustery. The updated forecast is a colder, windier follow-through than the outlook described in Hoodline’s Thursday forecast.
Saturday Brings Sunshine And A Chilly Start
Saturday should be sunny but cool, with a high near 52 degrees and lighter northwest winds. Clear skies and temperatures near the upper 30s could also bring patchy frost to parts of southeast Michigan, especially inland areas outside the city.
Next Week Looks Surprisingly Mild
The forecast improves quickly after the Friday chill. Sunday should be sunny near 62 degrees, followed by highs in the mid-60s Monday through Wednesday under mostly sunny or sunny skies, with no meaningful rain expected through Thursday.
