Detroit, MI – Residents enjoying Monday’s pleasant weather should prepare for a significant pattern shift, as multiple rounds of showers and thunderstorms are set to arrive mid-week. The coming system threatens to bring soaking rains and disrupt travel and outdoor activities, including potential plans for the Juneteenth holiday.
According to the National Weather Service, the calm conditions will give way to a chance of showers beginning after 2 p.m. on Tuesday. While Monday will see mostly sunny skies with a high near 82 degrees, Tuesday introduces a 30% chance of precipitation as temperatures climb toward 87 degrees. The primary risks arrive later in the evening, with showers and thunderstorms possible overnight into Wednesday.
The weather threat escalates significantly by Wednesday, when the probability of precipitation jumps to 70%. Showers are likely between 8 a.m. and 2 p.m., with another round of showers and a possible thunderstorm expected later in the afternoon. This widespread moisture could impact both morning and evening commutes across the metro area.
Unsettled weather continues into the holiday, as Juneteenth on Thursday brings another possibility of showers and thunderstorms, mainly after 2 p.m. Those with outdoor celebrations should monitor conditions closely. The system is expected to clear out by Friday, leading to a mostly sunny day with a high near 81 degrees.
This period of active weather remains in effect through Thursday evening. Residents should stay tuned for any potential weather advisories as the systems develop.
