Detroit, MI – Detroit residents can expect mostly clear skies and seasonable temperatures on Thursday, but rain looms for the weekend. The National Weather Service (NWS) forecasts highs near 59°F on Thursday, with light winds from the north making for a comfortable, autumnal day. However, residents are urged to prepare for possible rain this weekend, especially on major highways like I-75 and I-94.
According to the NWS, Thursday’s sunny conditions will transition to cloudy skies by Saturday night, bringing a 70-80% chance of showers on Sunday. Highs will reach the mid-60s, with lows dipping into the upper 40s to low 50s. This could lead to wet roads across Detroit, potentially affecting weekend travel plans.
Friday will continue the dry trend, with clear skies and a high near 60°F. Ideal for outdoor activities, residents are encouraged to make the most of Friday’s fair weather. As the weekend progresses, clouds will increase Saturday, with the first showers likely to begin after midnight.
Motorists should expect wet conditions and reduced visibility on Sunday morning, particularly along high-traffic routes like I-75 and I-94. The rainfall could make highways slick, and drivers are advised to reduce speeds and maintain extra distance between vehicles.
Looking ahead, conditions are expected to dry out by Veterans Day, with highs in the low 60s under partly sunny skies, offering a more stable forecast for early next week.
