DETROIT, MI — The air is calm and crisp across southeast Michigan early this Sunday, the sky streaked with thin silver clouds reflecting the first light off the Detroit River. The region is waking to a quiet, steady stretch of fall weather before changes arrive midweek.
Today and Monday bring plenty of sunshine — highs near 55°F both days — with light east winds and cool, dry air. It’s classic late-October weather across Wayne and Oakland Counties, perfect for outdoor cleanup or Halloween decorating. Monday night stays clear and cool, with lows dipping into the upper 30s and patchy frost possible in rural areas north of I-96.
By Wednesday, clouds return as a new system tracks across the Great Lakes, bringing a 40% chance of scattered showers Wednesday night into Thursday. While rainfall totals look light, the damp air and breezy east winds could make travel a bit slick during the evening commute.
Trick-or-treat weather looks favorable for Friday — partly sunny, mild, and dry with highs in the mid-50s. Light jackets should be enough for kids heading door to door across Detroit and Windsor.
For now, enjoy this calm fall stretch. Early model trends hint at a more chilly November pattern developing — one that could bring the first flirt with snowflakes north of I-69 in the weeks ahead.
