Detroit, MI — Spring warmth is on the way for southeast Michigan, but not before strong wind gusts up to 40 mph sweep through the area today.
According to the National Weather Service in Detroit/Pontiac, Tuesday brings partly cloudy skies and highs near 49°F, but brisk northwest winds will continue through the early evening. Gusts could top 40 mph at times, especially along open areas and stretches of I-75, potentially impacting high-profile vehicles and light debris. Winds will gradually ease by late afternoon.
By Wednesday, conditions improve as warmer air moves in. Highs will reach the mid- to upper 40s under mostly sunny skies. Winds remain calmer, shifting south between 6 to 10 mph, setting the stage for an extended spring-like trend.
Thursday and Friday offer highs in the mid-50s, but rain chances return late Thursday night, increasing into Friday and Saturday. Rain could affect evening commutes and weekend travel on major routes like I-94 and I-696.
Here’s a closer look at the five-day forecast:
- Wednesday: Mostly sunny, high of 46°F, low of 31°F.
