Clouds and lake-induced showers linger into Monday morning before skies turn mostly sunny, with temperatures climbing into the mid-50s. West winds at 6 mph will keep the afternoon crisp.
Tuesday Brings The Week’s Warmest Day
Monday night skies clear late before sunshine returns Tuesday. The high should reach about 62 degrees, making Tuesday the week’s best bet for patios, errands, and any outdoor plans that can’t wait for the next weather plot twist.
That mild stretch is brief. The National Weather Service Detroit/Pontiac discussion says rain chances increase late Wednesday into Thursday, with rain opportunities for Southeast Michigan.
Rain Arrives Before A Colder Turn
Thursday brings a chance of rain and a high near 49. Friday stays unsettled with another chance of light rain and a high around 44, while overnight temperatures dip toward the low 30s.
The updated outlook sharpens the contrast with the milder start covered in an earlier Hoodline forecast. The warmup peaks Tuesday, then a colder air mass settles over Southeast Michigan late Thursday through Saturday.
A Few Snowflakes Could Join The Late-Week Mix
Forecasters say lake-effect showers could develop behind the late-week system, meaning rain may mix with wet snow in some areas, particularly during heavier showers. Saturday could bring lake-effect rain and snow, with highs in the 40s, followed by cloudy skies Sunday.
No land-based watches or warnings are in effect for Detroit. Boaters on Lake Huron should use extra caution Monday, however, with Small Craft Advisories continuing in parts of the lake as winds and waves remain rougher than conditions on shore.
