Well, Detroit, if you were dreaming of breaking out the patio furniture this weekend… you might want to hit snooze on that plan. Spring is still taking its sweet time settling in around here, and instead of sunshine and short sleeves, we’re looking at a gray, damp, and downright chilly few days ahead.
But hey—if there’s one thing we know how to do in the D, it’s make the most of moody weather.
So, What’s the Deal?
Here’s the scoop for the weekend:
-
Friday: Cloudy and cool, with a high around 54°F. Not freezing, but definitely not warm. Light showers are possible—nothing dramatic, just enough to make you question if you left your car windows cracked. Overnight? Dropping to 36°F, so bundle up if you’re out late.
-
Saturday: A touch warmer, around 57°F, but still mostly overcast. It’ll feel brisk, especially in the shade or near the water. The low drops to 34°F, so if you’ve planted anything outside, keep a close eye on it—those temps could flirt with a frost.
-
Sunday: Copy, paste. High near 54°F again, and yep—more scattered showers. It’s one of those “don’t leave home without an umbrella, but you might not open it” kind of days.
Rainy, But Not a Total Washout
We’re not talking thunderstorms or heavy rain here—just that steady, off-and-on drizzle that makes you want to wear a hoodie and stay close to home. It’s more of a vibe than a downpour. The kind of weather where you drive slow, crave something warm, and maybe finally tackle that to-do list you’ve been dodging.
How to Dress & What to Know
-
Layers are your best friend. Mornings feel straight-up cold, and afternoons won’t exactly scream “spring.”
-
Umbrella? Yes. Even if you don’t use it, you’ll be glad you had it.
-
Gardeners, hold off. It’s still a little too risky to plant anything tender just yet.
-
It’s the perfect weekend for: Binge-watching, baking, hot drinks, and being cozy on purpose.
It’s Okay to Slow Down
Sure, it’s not the weekend we all hoped for weather-wise—but maybe that’s okay. We’ve had our fair share of wild forecasts this year, and honestly, a calm, cloudy weekend isn’t the worst thing in the world. Embrace it. Lean into the cozy. That sunshine will be back soon enough—just not this weekend.
