Detroit, Michigan – A spring warm-up brings highs in the 80s and a chance of strong thunderstorms to Southeast Michigan by Tuesday, with residents from Ann Arbor to Pontiac urged to stay weather-aware.
According to the National Weather Service Detroit/Pontiac, Sunday and Monday will be mostly sunny, with afternoon temperatures climbing from the mid-60s to mid-70s. The pleasant streak breaks early Tuesday as a cold front sweeps in, raising the odds (40-50%) for showers and thunderstorms across the region. Isolated strong storms are possible, especially in the Detroit urban core.
The threat covers major corridors like I-94, I-75, and the Ann Arbor–Pontiac stretch, with gusty winds and localized downpours expected to disrupt commutes. Residents should charge devices and review severe weather plans in advance, as isolated power outages and travel delays are possible during heavier storms.
This marks the season’s first run of 80-degree weather for Southeast Michigan, following a frosty start over the weekend. Conditions should improve overnight, but further weather advisories remain possible.
Warnings remain in effect through Tuesday evening; monitor updates from the National Weather Service for real-time alerts.
