Cold front drops temps across Metro Detroit ahead of rain chances: What to know

4Warn WeatherHappy Wednesday!

We start the day cooler, with most waking up to temperatures in the 40s. Skies are mostly clear this morning.

High temperatures will be cooler today -- at least 10 degrees below average by this afternoon. After reaching 80 degrees on Tuesday, we will be at least 20 degrees cooler this afternoon. Highs will struggle to reach 60 degrees.

Skies will be mostly sunny today, and it won’t be as windy -- although a light northerly breeze could put a little bite in the air.

Temperatures will fall into the upper 30s tonight, and there is a chance for patchy frost to develop, especially to our far northeast where temperatures will be a bit cooler. Cover planted annuals, if you can.

However, some thin, high clouds paired with upper-level smoke from Canadian wildfires could help keep away frost formation tonight for most folks.

Tonight’s sunset is at 8:50 p.m.

Cooler, sunny Thursday

Sunshine will return on Thursday, thanks to high pressure. Given that winds will shift out of the southeast, we’ll start to warm up to near-seasonal highs in the upper 60s.

Friday rain chances

Our temps will bounce back above average into the upper 70s on Friday, but rain will roll in that afternoon and evening. A rumble of thunder or two can’t be ruled out.

It will turn breezy with the passage of another cold front.

Rain should push out Saturday morning. The rest of the weekend looks to stay dry and sunny with highs on either side of 70 degrees.
