Metro Detroit is starting October on a warm note.
Patchy fog and mist will dissipate Tuesday morning in Southeast Michigan. Temperatures will rise to around 70 degrees by lunchtime.
During the afternoon, showers will develop along and ahead of a cold front as it advances eastward. A rumble of thunder is possible. The best chance of showers will be between 2 p.m. and 8 p.m. That means that you might encounter some raindrops during the Tigers watch party at Comerica Park. Afternoon temperatures will reach the mid 70s, which is a warmer than normal start to October. Winds will be out of the west at 5 to 10 mph.
Tuesday night, clouds will decrease as drier and cooler air flows into Southeast Michigan. Lows will be in the mid to upper 40s.
