Detroit, Michigan – Early risers in Detroit will see patchy fog Saturday morning before temperatures soar to a sweltering 92°F by midday. The heat, combined with rising humidity, will make conditions uncomfortable and could pose health risks for vulnerable residents. Drivers along I-94 and I-75 should also prepare for reduced visibility early and the possibility of heavy rain by evening.
According to the National Weather Service, isolated thunderstorms could develop after 2 p.m. Saturday, intensifying into the evening. These storms may bring gusty winds, lightning, and localized downpours, potentially slowing traffic across Wayne and Oakland counties. Residents should stay hydrated, limit outdoor activity during peak heat, and secure loose outdoor items before storms arrive.
Sunday offers little relief, with highs near 86°F and another round of afternoon storms possible. Overnight lows will stay warm, hovering in the mid-60s, which could make for restless nights without air conditioning. Commuters should monitor conditions closely, as sudden showers may impact morning and evening travel.
By Monday, partly sunny skies return, but heat and humidity remain. Storm chances persist into Tuesday before a slight cool-down midweek.
Warnings remain in place for heat-sensitive groups, and weather updates are expected through the weekend. Keep devices charged for potential power outages.
