DETROIT, Mich. — Southeast Michigan is closing out a serene, golden weekend under mostly clear skies, squeezing in one more stretch of gentle late-fall warmth before a cooler, wetter pattern takes hold early in the week. Saturday’s weather delivers crisp, comfortable air with filtered sun and light breezes carrying a faint hint of lake influence.
Forecasters at the National Weather Service in Detroit/Pontiac expect temperatures to hold in the mid-50s through Monday, paired with generally light winds—ideal for outdoor chores or getting a head start on Halloween decorations. By late Monday, a weak front sliding in from the Upper Midwest will increase east winds, with gusts nearing 20 mph along the I-94 corridor, and usher in thicker cloud cover.
Tuesday should remain seasonably mild in the mid-50s, but signs of change will build quickly. Light showers are likely to develop after sunset and spread across Wayne, Oakland, and Macomb counties. Evening drivers may encounter slick spots and patchy reductions in visibility where drizzle lingers. Temperatures will dip into the upper 30s by daybreak Wednesday, a nudge toward Michigan’s early winter chill.
By midweek, another round of scattered showers looks possible Thursday into Friday as colder air sinks south. Current projections keep Halloween night dry and seasonably cool—good news for trick-or-treaters layered in light jackets—though forecast models hint that the first true November chill won’t be far behind.
