Michigan – A chilly, gray start is hanging over Detroit this morning, with damp pavement and temperatures in the mid-30s creating a raw feel that lingers into the early hours. The quiet conditions won’t last long.
According to the National Weather Service, clouds hold through the day with highs reaching 56°F and southwest winds gusting up to 20 mph. That breeze signals a major shift as warmer air begins pushing into southeast Michigan.
Across the region, temperatures climb steadily into early week. By Monday, Detroit reaches 65°F under partly sunny skies. Roads remain dry for most of the day, but conditions begin to change late.
Rain develops Monday night, with a 40–50% chance of showers and possible thunderstorms after 2 a.m. Drivers along I-75, I-94, and the Lodge Freeway should prepare for wet pavement by early Tuesday.
Tuesday brings the biggest impact. Showers and thunderstorms become likely, with rain chances rising to 70% and highs near 72°F. Expect reduced visibility, ponding on roads, and brief downpours during the afternoon commute.
By Tuesday night, rain continues with a 70% chance before cooler air moves in. Wednesday turns noticeably colder, with highs dropping to 46°F and lingering rain. By late Wednesday night, temperatures near 30°F could allow a rain-to-snow mix, especially in outlying areas.
Keep layers ready and plan for changing road conditions. This is a classic spring swing from mild to messy in just 48 hours.
