DETROIT, Mich. – September warmth refuses to let go of Michigan as drivers and residents prepare for another stretch of sunny days. Highs will climb into the low 80s through Monday, keeping roadways like I-75 and I-94 dry but potentially hazy in morning commutes. Residents should take advantage of the stable weather now, as October’s cooler air looms by midweek.
According to the National Weather Service, Detroit and surrounding areas, including Hamtramck, will stay mostly sunny with light winds through Monday. Afternoon highs will range from 78 to 82 degrees, while evenings dip into the 50s under clear skies. Tuesday begins a noticeable shift with highs closer to the upper 70s and clouds building overnight.
This stretch of dry weather benefits drivers, outdoor events, and local businesses. Still, residents should plan ahead, as Wednesday brings highs near 71 with partly cloudy skies, signaling a stronger fall pattern. Thursday could rebound slightly into the upper 60s, but the long-range outlook favors cooler, crisper air settling in for the start of October.
For now, Metro Detroit enjoys a late-September reprieve from heavy rain or storms. Keep sunscreen and sunglasses handy through early week, and prepare for jackets and longer sleeves as October temperatures settle in by midweek.
Forecast confidence remains high, but additional advisories could follow if the fall transition triggers gusty winds or lake-effect rain bands later next week.
