Detroit, MI – Thunderstorms sweeping across southeast Michigan this morning are expected to fade by mid-day, making way for cooler, calmer fall weather through the rest of the week. Commuters should plan for brief, heavy rain and gusty winds early Tuesday before conditions dry out by evening.
According to the National Weather Service in Detroit/Pontiac, storms today could bring locally heavy rain, especially along I-75 and I-94 corridors between Detroit and Flint. Winds may reach up to 35 mph before shifting northwest and cooling temperatures later in the day.
By Thursday, October 9, residents can expect bright sunshine, highs near 64°F, and a refreshing fall breeze — perfect for outdoor activities or early Halloween decorating. Friday continues the mild trend, though morning lows may dip into the 40s, hinting at a possible first frost this weekend in northern suburbs and rural areas.
The extended forecast shows mostly sunny skies into Columbus Day, with highs in the 60s and crisp, clear evenings ideal for pumpkin patch visits or leaf-viewing drives along Hines Drive and Belle Isle.
Drivers should remain cautious this morning as wet pavement may cause slick conditions on metro roadways. Stay alert, and keep updated via the National Weather Service for any new advisories.
