Detroit, MI – Freezing rain will create hazardous conditions early Monday before transitioning to steady rainfall as temperatures rise. Motorists should prepare for slick roadways during the morning commute, with rainfall expected to last through early afternoon.
According to the National Weather Service, freezing rain will shift to all rain by 7 a.m. as temperatures climb from overnight lows in the upper 20s to highs in the upper 40s and low 50s. Rainfall will persist through Monday afternoon, impacting travel conditions and reducing visibility. Drivers are urged to allow extra travel time, especially on untreated roadways and overpasses.
A second round of rain is forecast to return later Monday night as temperatures remain mild. Tuesday will bring mostly cloudy skies with dry conditions and highs near 42°F. This brief break in precipitation will end by Wednesday when another system moves into the region, bringing a chance of rain-snow mix and temperatures in the mid-30s to low 40s.
By Thursday, temperatures will drop sharply, with highs struggling to reach 31°F and lows plunging into the upper teens. Lake effect snow showers are possible Thursday, creating localized accumulations and slick conditions, especially near Lake Michigan and downwind areas.
Motorists and residents should monitor weather updates closely and prepare for changing conditions throughout the week. With temperatures fluctuating and winter systems approaching, safety remains a priority for drivers and pedestrians alike.
The extended outlook includes drier skies and partly sunny weather by Friday, offering a temporary reprieve from early-week precipitation.
