DETROIT – Welcome to Sunday, Motown.
Palm Sunday becomes much more windy Sunday afternoon. It remains chilly with scattered rain possible. Sunday night gets much colder with sub-freezing conditions returning. Then, just like that, it becomes milder, warmer and sunnier Monday and Tuesday. It will be chilly again for the Tigers Home Opener.
The wind picks up speed and comes out of the west Sunday afternoon. It will be blowing in chillier air. It will feel like winter instead of early spring with wind-chills in the 30s, even upper 20s, the rest of the day. Westerly winds will blow 15 to 30 mph with higher gusts between 30 and 40 mph. Skies will be mostly cloudy with stray rain showers here and there.

Tuesday will be the warmest day of the week, and we can grab our sunglasses, again. Daytime temperatures reach the upper 60s to near 70°F.
A cold front with more showers returns Wednesday. It will be cooler temperatures barely making it to 50°F.
Sunshine returns for the Detroit Tigers home opener Thursday. Our hometown baseball team will host Cleveland at Comerica Park at 1:10 p.m. with the first pitch. It will be mostly sunny but chilly. Anyone allowed around or in the ballpark or going to get vaccinated at Ford Field will need their coats, hats, scarves and gloves with temperatures in the upper 30s and low 40s much of the day.
