Detroit is opening November with mostly cloudy skies Sunday morning, becoming partly cloudy later, and temperatures near 48 degrees early Sunday. The city should reach about 66 degrees despite mostly cloudy skies, with only a slim chance of rain and light southerly winds. In other words, fall is taking its time getting serious.

The mild pattern continues Monday, when mostly cloudy skies and a high in the mid-60s are expected. Rain could reach southern Lower Michigan as early as Monday, with chances increasing Monday night, while no watches, warnings or advisories are in effect for Detroit.

Tuesday Brings An Unusually Warm Turn

Tuesday looks like the warmest day of the stretch, with mostly cloudy skies and a high near 73 degrees. South winds will increase to roughly 8 to 13 mph, but the day should remain largely dry. The National Weather Service Detroit/Pontiac describes the broader pattern as mild through early next week before rain chances build.

The updated forecast adds a clearer midweek shift to the outlook covered in Hoodline’s Halloween forecast, with Tuesday now standing out as the warm-weather finale before wetter conditions take over.

Rain Likely Wednesday Before A Cooler Weekend

Rain is likely to develop mainly after 8 a.m. Wednesday, with a 70% chance and a high around 70 degrees. Showers may continue Wednesday night and linger into Thursday, which has a 50% chance of rain and a high in the mid-60s.

Friday stays mostly cloudy with another chance of light rain and a high around 63, followed by a cooler Saturday near 59 degrees. The following Sunday is forecast to reach 52 degrees.
