Cooler and more comfortable air is settling into southeast Michigan through Friday, offering a brief respite before a soggy start to the weekend. According to the National Weather Service in Detroit/Pontiac, today will be breezy and partly sunny, with temperatures near 80 degrees and noticeable drops in humidity throughout the afternoon. Friday will follow suit, with mostly sunny skies and highs in the upper 70s. As the night approaches, temperatures will dip into the upper 50s, keeping conditions mild.
However, a shift in the weather pattern will occur on Saturday when widespread showers and thunderstorms are expected to move across the region. Cities such as Detroit, Ann Arbor, Flint, and Monroe will likely see rain begin by late morning, continuing into the evening. Although severe weather is not expected, localized downpours and lightning could disrupt outdoor plans, so it’s a good idea to monitor the forecast if you have weekend plans.
By Sunday, skies are expected to clear, bringing a mix of sun and clouds and a return to highs near 80°F. Nighttime temperatures will remain mild, ranging from 58°F to 62°F throughout the weekend.
For those planning to travel or participate in outdoor activities this weekend, it’s important to stay updated on the forecast, especially on Saturday. Be cautious on wet roads and consider postponing outdoor events during stormy periods to stay safe.
