Metro Detroit to hit 71 degrees Wednesday
Temperatures will rebound after a cooler Tuesday, with the first chance for rain in two weeks arriving Thursday.

Metro Detroit temperatures will rebound sharply this week after Tuesday's mild start. The forecast calls for highs near 71 degrees on Wednesday, followed by a rise into the middle 70s on Thursday. These readings sit well above the historical average for the final days of October.
Tuesday's weather is slightly cooler than yesterday but remains above the seasonal norm. Highs will reach approximately 62 degrees under partly to mostly cloudy skies. This pattern represents a temporary dip before the warmer trend resumes midweek.
Thursday marks the first opportunity for precipitation in nearly two weeks. The dry stretch across Southeast Michigan may see spotty showers, though the system does not appear large enough to provide a widespread soaking. Rain is not expected to persist through Friday.
Weather Authority Derek Kevra notes that conditions will dry out again as temperatures settle into the middle 60s heading into the Halloween weekend. The forecast for Halloween itself looks favorable for outdoor activities. Residents can expect dry conditions with afternoon highs near 65 degrees.
By the time children head out for trick-or-treating, temperatures should drop into the middle to upper 50s. The dry weather is expected to hold for much of the weekend. Another chance for showers arrives on Sunday, following the current stretch of clear skies.
