DETROIT – Whoa! We call this weather whiplash as you are waking up to temperatures 20-30 degrees cooler across the Metro area. Cool and dry conditions persist through the rest of the week. Grab your sunglasses today, thanks to high pressure we will have mostly sunny skies with highs in the low 60s.
If you are heading to ALDS Game 4 at Comerica Park, you will want to find your favorite Tigers sweatshirt.
Let’s talk more about tonight as lows fall into the 30s the potential for frost exists both Thursday and Friday mornings. The coolest temperatures are expected farther inland with less certainty in frost development near the lakeshore. This would be the first frost of the season in Metro Detroit and would be right on time. Here is some frost climatology at DTW:
- Earliest First Frost: August 29, 1982
- Average First Frost: October 5th
- Latest First Frost: November 6, 1900
There is a bit of uncertainty whether or not we will see rainfall this weekend as low pressure moves into the Great Lakes. Not all models are in agreement, so just keeping it a possibility for late Saturday at this point. We then will warm up into the low 70s on Sunday and hold onto the seventies into early next week.
