Detroit, Michigan – After a week of soggy commutes and unpredictable showers, Michigan is set for a dramatic weather shift on Friday, August 1st, as clear skies and rising temperatures sweep into the Detroit area. Residents and commuters can expect a much-needed break, with highways like I-75 and I-94 expected to remain dry throughout the day—easing the way for safer travel into the weekend.
According to the National Weather Service, the rain will clear out Thursday night, giving way to sunny skies and a high near 77°F by Friday afternoon. North winds will help dry roadways and sidewalks, though gusts could reach up to 18 mph. Officials urge drivers to remain alert for any lingering slick spots during the Friday morning rush, but widespread hazards are unlikely.
Looking ahead, the weekend promises classic Michigan summer weather: Saturday will be mostly sunny with a high near 80°F, perfect for outdoor activities at Belle Isle or along the Detroit Riverwalk. Nighttime lows will hover in the low 60s, making for comfortable evenings. By Sunday, expect even warmer conditions—highs climb to 83°F with continued sunshine.
Planning ahead? Monday and Tuesday both look partly cloudy, with daytime highs in the mid-80s and warm, humid nights. There’s currently no sign of significant rain or severe storms, making it an ideal stretch for summer plans across Wayne County and Southeast Michigan.
Stay tuned for updates, as the NWS will continue to monitor conditions and issue advisories if needed. With sunshine back in the forecast, it’s a perfect time to get outside—but keep hydrated and be mindful of rising temperatures into next week.
