Roller Coaster Weather Continues This Week in Metro Detroit
Ah, Metro Detroit! Just when you thought we were finally ready to say goodbye to winter, Mother Nature decides to take us on a wild roller coaster ride of weather this week. Buckle up, because things are about to get interesting!
Chilly Start to the Week
Get ready for a dramatic drop in temperatures because Monday is going to feel a lot different than Sunday! We’re talking about a stunning drop of 20 to 30 degrees! Expect a sunny but crisp day, with temperatures peaking at around 46 degrees and dropping to a low of 38 degrees. It’s a perfect day to grab your favorite hoodie and take a brisk walk, but be careful not to let the sunny skies fool you – it’s still chilly!
Midweek Warm-Up
As we move into Tuesday and Wednesday, you’ll be delighted to know that warmer weather is on the way! Tuesday is shaping up to be a lovely day with highs reaching the low 60s. You can look forward to a high of 61 degrees and a low of 51 degrees. But hold on to your hats, because the winds are predicted to pick up, reaching up to 30 miles per hour! So if you’ve got any outdoor plans, be sure to secure your belongings.
By Wednesday, it’s getting even toastier with a forecasted high of 66 degrees. However, don’t get too comfortable just yet – the rain will make an appearance late in the day. Prepare for a wet Wednesday evening as we witness the skies open up once again.
Spring, Where Art Thou?
Keeping an Eye on Severe Weather
This week is also marked as Severe Weather Awareness Week in Michigan (March 16-22). Plus, there’s a marginal risk for severe weather late Wednesday night, particularly in areas like Lenawee County and parts of Washtenaw County. So, keep those weather alerts handy as temperatures may dip into the mid-30s to lower 40s.
Friday, Finally Some Sunshine!
Good news is on the horizon for the end of the week. Friday is expected to grace us with sunny skies and highs in the lower 50s. That should give us a nice respite from the chaotic weather pattern we’ve been experiencing. Just make sure to keep a light jacket handy, as the temperatures will drop to a low around 40 degrees at night.
Weekend Outlook
As we march into the weekend, it looks like temperatures will start to moderate, making their way back into the 50s. Saturday may serve up some unpredictable weather with a chance of rain and snow showers in the morning, while Sunday is expected to be mostly cloudy with highs in the upper 40s.
So, Metro Detroit, keep your winter coats and spring jackets close because this week’s weather is the definition of a roller coaster. Stay prepared and enjoy the wild ride!
