Detroit, Michigan – After a cold and cloudy start to the weekend, weather conditions in Detroit are set to improve slightly with increasing sunshine on Sunday, though temperatures will remain well below average.
Meteorologists say a high-pressure system south of the region will bring intermittent sun, but breezy and chilly conditions will persist through the weekend.
Sunday Brings Sunshine Amid Cold Temperatures
Residents can expect Sunday to start with cloud cover, gradually giving way to sunshine in the afternoon and evening hours. Despite the sunny breaks, temperatures will remain cold, with a high around 28°F. Breezy conditions are also expected, which will make it feel even colder throughout the day.
Sunday Night will see increasing cloudiness, leading to mostly cloudy skies by late evening, with overnight lows dropping to 18°F.
Snow and Rain Chances Arrive Monday
As the next weather system moves into the Detroit area, clouds will continue to increase overnight Sunday into Monday morning, setting the stage for potential precipitation.
- Monday: Mostly cloudy skies with a chance of snow in the afternoon and evening, and a high near 35°F.
- Monday Night: Skies remain mostly cloudy with a mix of rain and snow showers, and overnight lows falling to 30°F.
Meteorologists caution that the initial snow may change over to a rain-snow mix before eventually transitioning to rain showers as temperatures gradually warm Monday night into early Tuesday.
Tuesday Warms Slightly With Morning Rain Showers
By Tuesday, temperatures are expected to rise, with a high near 44°F. Early morning rain showers are possible, but the day will see generally improving conditions as the precipitation tapers off. Overnight lows for Monday night into Tuesday morning will remain in the lower 30s, reflecting the lingering cold air mass from the weekend.
Meteorologists emphasize that while temperatures will warm slightly, it will still feel chilly for December, and residents should be prepared for changing conditions from snow to rain in the early week.
