Metro Detroit weather forecast: Great marathon weather, warmer this afternoon

Highs in the mid, upper 60s

DETROIT – Happy Sunday, Motown! 

We have marvelous weather for the marathon this morning. This afternoon becomes warmer. The next chance of rain is after Sunday night.

Runners and spectators for the 2019 Detroit Free Press TCF bank Marathon will be greeted with cool but pleasant conditions. There is no concern about freezing conditions or frost. Temperatures start in the 40s to around 50°F under mostly cloudy skies.

Sunrise is at 7:52 a.m. ET.

It becomes milder by breakfast time and afterward.  Temperatures will be closer to 60°F as runners continue then complete the race and while football fans gather for tailgating outside Ford Field.

Sunday afternoon will be mostly sunny and warmer. Highs will be in the middle and upper 60s with enough sunshine.  It feels more like spring time with T-shirt weather for families going to and from services or fall activities like enjoying the fall colors, navigating corn mazes or picking apples or pumpkins.
