MICHIGAN — Sunshine and temperatures in the 60s will soon disappear across Detroit as November rain arrives and colder air pushes temperatures toward freezing.
A 32 degree temperature swing could leave metro Detroit residents reaching for winter coats before the weekend.
According to the National Weather Service Detroit/Pontiac office, temperatures will fall sharply between November 10 and November 14.
Rain chances increase Wednesday before reaching 60% Thursday, bringing potentially wet pavement and slower travel during the afternoon.
The changing conditions affect Detroit, Wayne County and surrounding communities across southeastern Michigan.
Detroit's Warm Weather Gives Way to Rain Tuesday brings sunshine and temperatures reaching approximately 62 degrees.
It's a favorable opportunity for residents to clear fallen leaves, clean gutters and secure outdoor decorations.
However, the comfortable weather won't last.
Wednesday, Veterans Day, brings mostly cloudy skies and highs near 53 degrees.
A 30% chance of rain develops between 4 p.m. and 5 p.m.
Rain chances increase to 50% Wednesday evening as temperatures fall toward 40 degrees.
Thursday Brings the Biggest Weather Change Thursday, November 12, becomes the week's primary weather concern.
Rain is likely, particularly after 1 p.m., with precipitation chances reaching 60%.
Temperatures struggle to reach 47 degrees.
Drivers along Interstate 75, Interstate 94 and Interstate 96 should prepare for wet pavement and potentially reduced visibility during showers.
Allow additional travel time if rain develops during the afternoon commute.
Thursday night brings mostly cloudy skies and temperatures falling toward 33 degrees.
That's close enough to freezing for residents to monitor local conditions carefully.
Friday's 30 Degree Low Raises Frost Concerns Friday brings another chance of rain, with afternoon temperatures reaching only 43 degrees.
Friday night temperatures fall toward 30 degrees.
That's below freezing and approximately 32 degrees colder than Tuesday's afternoon high.
Frost and freezing conditions could affect sensitive vegetation and exposed outdoor surfaces.
If moisture remains on untreated pavement as temperatures fall, isolated slick spots could develop.
Bridges, overpasses and shaded locations deserve particular attention.
However, widespread icing or flash freezing is not currently predicted.
The supplied Detroit outlook also does not indicate accumulating snow or a tornado threat through Saturday.
Saturday Brings a Chilly Start Saturday, November 14, offers some improvement.
Mostly sunny skies return, with afternoon temperatures reaching approximately 44 degrees.
However, Saturday night temperatures fall toward 31 degrees.
That means another period of freezing temperatures is possible across Detroit.
Residents should protect sensitive plants and prepare for colder morning conditions.
