Detroit, MI – Soft light over the Detroit River reveals calm water and a quiet, brisk start to November across southeast Michigan. After a clear, cool morning, conditions will stay pleasant through Sunday before clouds gather and rain chances return Monday — a brief but telling signal of the season’s gradual transition toward colder air.
According to the National Weather Service in White Lake, most of the weekend will remain dry and mild. Highs climb to the mid-50s today and Sunday, with plenty of sunshine and light south winds near 8 mph. By Monday, a weak front moving out of the Midwest brings a 30 percent chance of scattered showers, especially during the afternoon and early evening. Rainfall totals will stay light, but damp pavement may slow travel along I-75, I-94, and M-10 through the metro area.
Winds shift westward Monday afternoon, ushering in slightly cooler, crisper air. Highs will slip back to the upper 40s by midweek, with lows dipping toward 38°F. The pattern looks stable through Wednesday, but long-range models continue to hint at a stronger cold push by the second week of November — one that could bring the first flurries north of Flint and Lansing if trends hold.
For now, southeast Michigan enjoys one last mild weekend for outdoor work, leaf cleanup, or early holiday prep. The week ahead remains manageable but marks the first step into true November weather — breezy, gray, and ready to change.
