Metro Detroit Weather Update
Metro Detroit residents can expect rain showers to arrive overnight on Friday, lingering through Saturday afternoon. These showers will precede a warm-up in temperatures expected early next week.

Weekend Forecast Details
The rain on Friday night is expected to be spotty and not widespread, posing limited impact to the region. Beginning Friday, temperatures will start in the 40s, climbing to the mid-60s later in the day. The forecast for the rest of the week includes mostly sunny conditions.
On Wednesday, conditions will remain mostly sunny with a high of 61 degrees and a low of 41, while Thursday will see similar sunny weather with highs reaching 62 and lows at 42. The forecast for Friday shows mostly sunny skies, with temperatures peaking at 65 degrees.
Long-term Outlook and Environmental Considerations
While the initial rain may provide some relief, a cold front is projected midweek, which could drop temperatures, although current moisture levels are low, suggesting minimal precipitation is to be expected. It is also worth noting that air pollution levels in the area are moderate but not considered harmful to the public. Ragweed pollen levels are rated as moderate, and the flu risk is categorized as very low.
Current Drought Conditions
Detroit has yet to receive any measurable rainfall this October, trailing the average by approximately 0.44 inches. This ongoing dry spell has contributed to the early onset of fall colors, which have not reached their typical peak. The U.S. Drought Monitor currently classifies the majority of Michigan’s Lower Peninsula as abnormally dry to experiencing severe drought conditions.
The average high temperature for October is normally around 62 degrees, but recent weather has been unusually warm. For example, a high of 85 degrees was recorded on a recent Monday, which is significantly above the seasonal average.
With fall in full swing, weather patterns are starting to shift, and residents are encouraged to stay informed about upcoming forecasts as temperatures and conditions fluctuate.
