DETROIT, Mich.–Ont. — A blanket of early fog drapes the city skyline this morning, muting headlights along I-75 and I-94 as southeast Michigan wakes to calm, cool air near freezing. The fog will lift quickly, giving way to a stretch of crisp sunshine and seasonable warmth before a few midweek showers arrive.
According to the National Weather Service in Detroit/Pontiac, temperatures rebound sharply today, climbing toward 55°F under sunny skies. Light southwest winds increase to near 10 mph this afternoon, signaling the start of a warmer, quieter pattern that lasts through Tuesday. Nights remain chilly, with lows in the upper 30s to lower 40s — a reminder that early November’s first freeze isn’t far behind.
Monday and Tuesday both bring mostly sunny skies and highs near 58°F, ideal for leaf cleanup, outdoor errands, or early holiday prep before the next system approaches midweek. Clouds increase Tuesday night, followed by a 40% chance of rain on Wednesday, mainly during the afternoon. The rain looks light and spotty for now, but even a brief soaking could dampen commutes and slick up roadways from Ann Arbor to Macomb County.
Beyond Wednesday, a mix of sun and cooler air settles back in, keeping highs in the 50s through late week. No early snow is expected yet, though forecasters hint at a colder shift later this month as weak La Niña patterns steer sharper fronts into the Great Lakes. For now, southeast Michigan enjoys one last stretch of mellow, golden fall weather — a brief pause before winter’s edge starts to show.
