Detroit, MI – Metro Detroit is in for a gradual warm-up this week, but not without a few bumps along the way.
Tuesday starts off chilly with highs between 39° and 43° and morning lows dipping into the low-to-mid 20s. There is a slight chance of freezing drizzle or mist early near the Ohio border, which could create slick spots during the morning commute. Drivers in southern parts of the region should take it slow if they encounter untreated roads.
By Wednesday, temperatures climb into the low 40s to low 50s, with overnight lows in the upper 20s to mid 30s. Clouds stick around, and the pattern begins shifting toward a wetter setup heading into the second half of the week.
Thursday continues the warming trend, with highs reaching 40° to 53° and lows in the low 30s to low 40s. Rain chances increase as the system moving into the Great Lakes brings more widespread precipitation potential.
Friday marks a noticeable jump, with highs between 52° and 64° and lows in the 40s to low 50s. Showers are possible, and there is even a chance for thunderstorms Friday into Saturday as warmer air pushes into the region.
Saturday looks to be the warmest day of the stretch, with highs ranging from 58° to 68°. Overnight lows will remain mild, generally in the 30s to low 40s. While rain chances linger, the overall trend is clear: Winter’s grip is loosening, and spring-like temperatures are making a push into Metro Detroit heading into the weekend.
