Detroit, Mich. – Michigan commuters could run into patchy fog early Tuesday, creating hazards on I-75 and surface streets before sunrise. Drivers should use headlights, allow extra stopping distance, and avoid speeding through low-visibility areas.
According to the National Weather Service in Detroit/Pontiac, fog may reduce visibility until 8 a.m. Tuesday. Conditions quickly improve as sunshine returns, with highs near 83. Light east winds will keep humidity manageable, but warm air lingers into midweek.
The dry stretch will continue through Thursday with temperatures holding in the low to mid-80s. Detroit, Dearborn, and Hamtramck will enjoy mostly clear skies at night, with lows around 58 to 60 degrees. Public safety officials remind residents to stay hydrated and check vehicles before long drives, as heat and lingering fog could impact both morning and evening commutes.
By Friday, temperatures begin easing, settling closer to 80 degrees. Saturday remains warm but with increasing clouds. A shift comes Sunday, when showers may move into southeast Michigan, cooling the region into the mid-70s. Outdoor events may face disruptions, especially in Wayne and Oakland counties.
The extended period of sun and warmth offers one last taste of summer before fall-like conditions arrive. More advisories may be issued later this week if fog thickens or rain chances increase.
