Detroit is waking up to a chilly, cloudy Saturday, with temperatures around 34 degrees at Detroit City Airport and northwest winds near 21 mph early in the morning. The breeze will ease somewhat, but it will still feel like late fall as temperatures climb only into the mid-40s. Morning wind chills could dip into the 20s.
Saturday Stays Chilly And Mostly Dry
Saturday afternoon will bring a mix of clouds and occasional sun, with gusts reaching up to 21 mph and temperatures slipping back toward the mid-40s later in the day. The National Weather Service says lake-effect rain showers, briefly mixed with melting snow, should remain focused mainly along the southern Lake Huron shoreline. Detroit and most of the metro area are expected to stay dry.
Clouds Linger Before A Noticeable Warmup
Sunday will look similar, with partly sunny skies, a high near 48 and a cold low around 31 Sunday night. Monday turns sunny near 50, followed by highs around 53 Tuesday and 54 Wednesday.
The warmup continues Thursday and Friday, when partly sunny skies and southwest winds help push temperatures toward 57 and 60 degrees, respectively. That stretch of dry weather should offer a welcome break from the weekend chill for commutes, errands and outdoor plans.
Lake Huron Boaters Face Stronger Winds
There are no land-based weather alerts listed for Detroit, but a Small Craft Advisory remains in effect for parts of Lake Huron through Sunday morning. Boaters should expect northwest winds and rougher conditions near the shoreline, while inland residents can plan for a mostly quiet and increasingly mild week.
