Detroit, Michigan – Southeast Michigan residents should brace for possible thunderstorms Friday afternoon and evening, with drier, cooler conditions expected by the weekend.
According to the National Weather Service in Detroit, scattered showers will develop across the region Friday, with a chance of thunderstorms impacting cities including Detroit, Ann Arbor, and Pontiac between 2 p.m. and 10 p.m. Highs will climb into the upper 70s before cooler air settles in overnight.
Today will bring patchy drizzle early on, giving way to partly sunny skies and the potential for an isolated shower. High temperatures will hover in the upper 60s to low 70s, with nighttime lows dipping to near 50°F.
Weekend conditions look more favorable for outdoor plans. From Saturday through Sunday, skies will remain mostly sunny with highs ranging from the mid-60s to low 70s. Overnight lows will fall into the mid-40s, accompanied by low humidity and calm winds — a welcome shift from the unsettled pattern earlier in the week.
Drivers should stay alert for wet roads Friday, especially during the evening commute. Residents are advised to monitor local alerts and avoid travel during lightning activity.
Additional weather statements may be issued if storms strengthen Friday afternoon.
