Detroit, Mich. – A cool and soggy pattern will continue across southeast Michigan through Thursday as a slow-moving system brings widespread showers and brisk fall air. Roads will stay wet and visibility may be reduced at times, especially during the morning commute across Metro Detroit and along I-94.
According to the National Weather Service office in Detroit/Pontiac, highs will hold near 52°F both today and Thursday, with overnight lows dipping into the 30s by early Friday as drier air arrives. While rainfall totals will stay modest—around a quarter inch—persistent drizzle and light showers will keep conditions raw and damp through Thursday evening.
Winds from the northwest will gust up to 20 mph at times, adding to the chill. Forecasters expect skies to begin clearing by Friday morning, bringing a return of sunshine and lighter breezes. Residents should plan for one more round of umbrella weather before the weekend ushers in a milder and more comfortable pattern.
Cool, dry air Friday night may allow patchy frost in rural counties north and west of the city. The National Weather Service advises protecting outdoor plants before the coldest morning lows early Saturday.
