Detroit, MI – A stretch of unseasonably warm fall weather will bring highs in the 80s across metro Detroit through Sunday, but showers and a cool-down are on the way early next week.
According to the National Weather Service in Detroit/Pontiac, Friday through Sunday will feature sunshine, light winds, and daytime highs between 82 and 85 degrees. Nights remain mild, staying in the 50s and lower 60s. While the warmth is expected to linger into Monday, cloud cover increases by evening as a front approaches.
Showers are possible late Monday, with rain becoming more likely Tuesday afternoon into Wednesday. Forecasters expect highs near 76 on Tuesday, falling back into the 60s by midweek. Winds will also pick up with the frontal passage, potentially impacting drivers on I-94 and I-75 during the Tuesday evening commute.
The warm weekend will encourage outdoor events across Wayne, Oakland, and Macomb counties, but residents should be mindful of the sudden pattern change early next week. According to the Michigan Department of Transportation, wet roads and gusty winds Tuesday may create slick spots and minor delays.
Experts urge residents to take advantage of the final stretch of warmth by preparing homes and vehicles for the cooler, wetter pattern that follows. That includes checking heating systems, clearing gutters, and keeping umbrellas and rain gear ready for Tuesday. Pets, plants, and outdoor setups should be secured before the weather turns unsettled.
