Michigan – Gray skies and a chilly bite are hanging over Detroit this afternoon, but conditions are already shifting as a warmer, wetter pattern lines up for the days ahead.
According to the National Weather Service, temperatures rise from the upper 30s this morning to near 54°F today with sunshine gradually taking over. Light northeast winds keep the temps cool, but the warming trend is underway .
Across Detroit, including I-75, I-94, and the Lodge Freeway, roads stay dry today with improving visibility. Still, the early chill means shaded areas may feel colder than expected. Plan for a noticeable difference between morning and afternoon conditions.
Changes begin late tonight into Sunday. A 30 percent chance of rain develops, followed by steadier showers Sunday night with a 70 percent chance. Roads could turn slick, especially after dry pavement collects oil and dust.
By Monday, rain becomes more widespread. Showers are likely, with a 60 percent chance and gusty winds. Thunderstorms may develop later in the day and into the evening, which could slow travel and reduce visibility across metro Detroit.
The unsettled pattern sticks around into Tuesday and Wednesday. Scattered showers and storms continue, but temperatures climb into the mid to upper 70s. That mix of warmth and moisture will give the region a true spring feel.
