Detroit is starting Tuesday under clear skies, with temperatures climbing from the mid-40s into the low 60s by afternoon. The sunny, dry stretch is the week’s warmest window before rain and a sharper chill move in later this week.
The forecast calls for a high near 62 degrees, while afternoon west-northwest winds run 10 to 20 knots. The National Weather Service says sunshine will dominate, with no rain expected Tuesday.
Wednesday Clouds Up Before The Rain
Wednesday will be noticeably less bright, with mostly cloudy skies and a high near 53. A 30% chance of light rain arrives around 4 to 5 p.m., then rain chances rise after 7 p.m. as temperatures settle near 40 overnight.
Thursday Brings The Big Weather Turn
Rain is likely Thursday as north winds reach 10 to 15 mph and the high stalls near 47. The late-week cold push could allow wet snowflakes to mix into heavier showers, especially as lake-effect precipitation develops Thursday night into Friday.
Chilly Weekend, Calmer Finish
Friday keeps a chance of light rain, mostly cloudy skies and a high near 43, with temperatures dropping to around 30 Friday night. Saturday turns mostly sunny near 44, followed by highs around 47 Sunday and 49 Monday.
No land-based watches or warnings are listed for Detroit, but Thursday and Friday will bring a much wetter, colder feel than Tuesday’s brief bonus round. For errands, outdoor plans or one last patio attempt, Tuesday is the clear winner.
