Detroit, Michigan – Michigan’s spring weather is about to swing from picture-perfect to downright tricky for Detroit drivers and pedestrians alike. After a sun-soaked Sunday and a summer-like Monday, rain and gusty winds threaten to disrupt commutes and outdoor plans across the city by late Tuesday.
According to the National Weather Service Detroit/Pontiac office, residents will enjoy clear skies and comfortable temperatures Sunday, with highs near 66°F. Monday heats up, peaking at 72°F under blue skies. The real change arrives Tuesday: rain becomes likely after 2 p.m., while highs soar to an unseasonable 84°F. Breezy conditions and wet roads—especially along I-94, Woodward Ave, and local surface streets—could create headaches for evening commuters.
Rain remains in the forecast through Tuesday night, with the National Weather Service cautioning drivers to slow down and watch for slick conditions. Keep devices charged in case of isolated power outages, and plan for alternate routes if water pools on low-lying roads.
Wednesday returns to mostly sunny, springlike weather, with highs around 63°F and a light north breeze. Thursday and Friday bring a chance of additional spring showers but no major threats.
