Detroit, MI – Southeast Michigan started the week with scattered showers and breezy winds, according to the National Weather Service (NWS) in Detroit/Pontiac. Rain is expected through the first half of Monday, with skies gradually clearing later in the day as temperatures stay on the mild side for early November.
The Forecast: Mild Temperatures and On-and-Off Showers
Meteorologists report that high temperatures will range between 54°F and 58°F across most of Southeast Michigan on Monday, while overnight lows are expected to dip into the low to mid-30s. Light rain and gusty winds will linger during the morning hours before tapering off in the afternoon.
Forecasters say the region will experience a brief warm stretch through midweek, followed by a cooldown heading into the weekend. Tuesday is predicted to be dry and partly sunny, with highs near 57°F and calmer winds.
By Wednesday, temperatures could climb into the lower 60s, accompanied by intermittent breezes and patches of sunshine, offering a comfortable midweek break before cooler air moves in again.
Extended Outlook: Cooler Air Returns Late Week
The NWS expects a shift by Thursday, when highs will slide back to around 54°F, with overnight lows near 40°F. A weak frontal boundary could bring light rain showers late Thursday or Friday, though forecasters note that no major storms or severe weather are expected.
The end of the week is likely to feature calmer and seasonable conditions, with the region trending toward typical November temperatures heading into the weekend.
Commuter and Safety Advisory
Drivers are urged to use caution during Monday’s morning commute, as wet roads and reduced visibility from lingering showers could make travel more challenging. Winds gusting between 15 and 25 mph may also create slick conditions on bridges and overpasses.
Residents should keep umbrellas and jackets handy for early showers but can expect a gradual improvement in conditions by afternoon, with clearing skies overnight.
Conclusion
Southeast Michigan is set for a mild and breezy start to the week, followed by a pleasant midweek warm-up before a return to cooler, more typical fall weather by Thursday. Forecasters advise keeping an eye on updates from the National Weather Service Detroit/Pontiac for any changes to late-week rain chances.
