Metro Detroit is in for a mix of weather over the Memorial Day weekend.  The forecast suggests a chilly start, but things are looking up.  The weather is not always what it seems.  It might seem like a cool summer is on the way, but the outlook is promising.  The seasonal forecast hints at a warmer-than-usual summer for the area.  This is good news for those who enjoy outdoor activities.

The past few afternoons in Southeast Michigan have been stuck in the 50s.  This is unusual for late May, which typically sees highs in the lower 70s.  It is a good reminder that weather can be unpredictable.  Friday evening will see temperatures in the 40s and 50s.  There might be a few raindrops, especially in the Thumb region.  Overnight, temperatures will range from 40 to 45 degrees under partly cloudy skies.  The milder temperatures will be felt east of Telegraph Road.  Winds will blow from the west-northwest at 5 to 15 mph.

Saturday will see a slow temperature rise.  Highs are expected to reach the lower 60s, with a mix of sunshine and clouds.  There might be an isolated shower in the afternoon, but most places will stay dry.  Lows will be around 40 degrees.  Sunday will be sunnier with slightly warmer temperatures.  Highs will be in the mid-60s, and lows in the mid-40s.

Memorial Day itself will bring comfortable weather.  Temperatures are expected to reach around 70 degrees, which is just below the average for late May.  This is a step in the right direction.  The average high for Memorial Day is 74 degrees.  Looking ahead, temperatures will top out at around 70 degrees through the workweek.  However, there might be a few showers midweek.

It's important to stay informed about the weather.  This can help with planning outdoor activities or events.  Remember, the weather can change quickly, so it's always a good idea to check the forecast regularly.  This can help avoid any surprises and make the most of the weekend.
