The weather in Metro Detroit is set to change dramatically over the weekend. First, the good news: Saturday will be bright and sunny, with temperatures fitting for the season. As night falls, clouds will start to roll in, and temperatures will dip to the mid-30s across most of the area. Some spots in the Thumb region might even see temperatures drop to the lower-30s. The wind will be calm, making it a peaceful night.

However, Sunday will bring a different story. Rain showers will start to move in from the west early in the morning, around 5 a. m. These showers will likely hit the US-23 corridor first. Throughout the day, Metro Detroit can expect sporadic light rain. There might be a brief respite from the rain between late morning and early afternoon, but more showers are likely in the late afternoon and evening. Temperatures will hover around the mid-50s, with winds blowing from the south at 5 to 10 mph. The night will remain mostly cloudy, with a chance of more rain and temperatures dropping to the mid-40s.

Monday will see more scattered showers as a cold front moves through the Great Lakes region. The day will start mild, with temperatures in the 50s, but will warm up to the mid-60s by afternoon. Nighttime will bring partly cloudy skies and temperatures in the upper-30s to 40 degrees.

Tuesday will be breezy and mostly cloudy, with highs only reaching the upper-40s to 50 degrees. Nighttime temperatures will fall to the lower-30s under partly cloudy skies.

Wednesday and Thursday will offer a mix of sunshine and clouds, with highs in the mid- to upper-50s. Nights will be chilly, with temperatures in the lower-30s on Wednesday and lower-40s on Thursday.

Looking ahead, more rain is expected late next week. Starting Thursday night, Metro Detroit will have another chance of showers that could last through the weekend. It's a good idea to keep an umbrella handy. This pattern of changing weather highlights the unpredictability of spring in the region. While the sunny days are welcome, the sudden shifts to rain and cooler temperatures serve as a reminder of the need for preparedness. It's always a good idea to check the forecast regularly and dress in layers to stay comfortable throughout the day.
