Michigan – Headlights reflect off wet pavement and low clouds hang heavy as rain and patchy fog reduce visibility across Metro Detroit, setting up a messy stretch of weather through the day.
According to the National Weather Service in Detroit/Pontiac, showers are likely with a 90% chance of rain and embedded thunderstorms developing through the afternoon. A Dense Fog Advisory remains in place early, limiting visibility before conditions shift to steady rainfall and gusty winds.
Across Detroit, Dearborn, and Warren, roads will stay slick through the day. Travel along I-94, I-75, and I-96 may slow during heavier bursts of rain. Plan extra time and keep headlights on. Conditions may deteriorate quickly during any thunderstorm.
By later today, a strong cold front pushes through, ending the rain but dropping temperatures fast. What feels mild now will turn noticeably colder by evening. Winds shift and add a brisk edge.
Sunday brings partial clearing but much cooler air, with highs only near the low 50s. A few lingering showers remain possible early, then skies gradually improve. The bigger concern develops into the night as temperatures fall toward 30°F.
By early Monday, any leftover moisture could refreeze on bridges and untreated roads. Watch for isolated icy spots during the morning commute. This is the time of year when quick temperature drops can create hidden hazards.
Sunshine returns Monday with highs near the upper 40s, followed by a steady warm-up into the 60s by Tuesday and near 70°F by midweek.
