Michigan — Headlights glow through a blanket of fog across Detroit this morning as misty air and steady drizzle create a damp start across southeast Michigan.
Drivers across I-75, I-94, and I-96 are already encountering reduced visibility and slick pavement as fog mixes with light rain. Temperatures hover near 35°F, giving the morning a chilly late-winter feel.
While temperatures sit above freezing, the combination of fog and moisture could still slow travel during the morning commute.
Meteorologists say rain will become widespread through the day, with showers likely across Detroit, Dearborn, Warren, and Sterling Heights. Periods of heavier rain could develop during the afternoon.
High temperatures only reach about 44°F, keeping conditions gray and cool across the region.
Rain continues through the evening before gradually tapering overnight. Low clouds will likely linger into the night, keeping the sky mostly overcast.
Friday finally brings a break from steady rain. Skies stay mostly cloudy, but temperatures rebound to around 59°F, a noticeable warmup compared with the chilly start to the week.
Another round of rain returns heading into the weekend.
Saturday looks wet across southeast Michigan, with rain likely and highs climbing to about 67°F. Roads could become slick again during periods of steady rain.
By Sunday, the weather pattern improves dramatically. Sunshine returns across Detroit with highs near 55°F, bringing a brighter end to the weekend.
Early Sunday morning also marks the Daylight Saving Time change, when clocks move forward one hour at 2 a.m., giving Michigan longer daylight evenings through March.
Looking ahead, temperatures gradually warm again next week. Highs climb into the 60s by Monday and Tuesday, though additional rain chances return by midweek.
For now, drivers should slow down during foggy stretches this morning and allow extra time on major highways.
