Southeast Michigan is starting Tuesday with comfortable temperatures and areas of patchy fog, particularly in the Irish Hills and near Lake Huron and Lake Erie. A dry cold front moving through the region will bring a shift in temperatures by Wednesday, setting the stage for a cooler stretch through the second half of the week.
People heading to work Tuesday morning will encounter temperatures in the upper-40s and lower-50s, with fog in some communities briefly dropping visibility below one mile. Drivers should allow extra time, slow down, and use low-beam headlights when navigating through foggy patches. The fog will dissipate before 10 a.m.
High temperatures Tuesday will climb into the lower- to mid-70s in Metro Detroit, making for a comfortable afternoon. Expect highs in the mid- to upper-60s in the Thumb. Light winds and dry conditions will continue, ideal for outdoor activities and fall yardwork.
Tuesday night will see partly cloudy skies, with a few rain showers approaching. A couple of showers and possible overnight and before sunrise Wednesday, though most areas will remain dry.
Midweek Cooldown
Wednesday
Wednesday will bring a noticeable drop in temperatures behind the front. Afternoon highs will only reach the lower-60s. Overnight lows will fall into the upper-30s to around 40 degrees, hinting at a more autumn-like stretch to come.
Thursday
Thursday will stay cool but sunny, with highs in the lower-60s.
The crisp and cooler conditions later this week will be perfect for fall outdoor activities, including cider mill visits, tailgates, and high school football games, though a jacket may be needed.
Friday through the Weekend
Friday will warm into the mid-60s with a spotty shower chance at night. Rain chances increase over the weekend, but temperatures will rebound into the lower-70s Saturday before dropping again Sunday.
