DETROIT, Mich. – A calm, golden weekend wraps up under clear skies as southeast Michigan enjoys a final burst of late-fall warmth before a cooler, wetter turn early next week. Saturday’s air feels crisp but gentle, with sunshine filtering through thin clouds and calm winds carrying just a trace of lake moisture.
According to the National Weather Service office in Detroit/Pontiac, temperatures will hover in the mid-50s through Monday with light winds, giving residents a perfect window for outdoor work or early Halloween decorating. By late Monday, however, a weak front slides in from the Upper Midwest, bringing gustier east winds—up to 20 mph along I-94—and a shift toward increasing clouds.
Tuesday may stay mild in the mid-50s, but signs of change build quickly. A few light showers are expected to arrive after dark, spreading across Wayne, Oakland, and Macomb Counties. Drivers should watch for slick pavement on the evening commute and minor visibility drops where drizzle lingers. The air will cool into the upper 30s by dawn Wednesday, signaling the next step toward Michigan’s early winter chill.
By midweek, scattered showers could return Thursday into Friday as a colder air mass pushes south. Halloween night currently looks dry and seasonably cool—ideal for trick-or-treaters bundled in light jackets. Still, models hint that the first true November chill isn’t far behind.
