Detroit, MI – Subfreezing temperatures are creating immediate hazards across southeast Michigan this morning, with readings in the 20s impacting roads, vehicles, and outdoor infrastructure before a rapid warm-up begins later today.
According to the National Weather Service in Detroit/Pontiac, a Freeze Warning remains in effect through 11 AM Monday as early morning lows drop into the mid-20s across much of the region. Icy patches are possible on bridges and overpasses along I-75, I-94, and I-696, especially during the early commute.
Temperatures will recover this afternoon into the 40s, then climb sharply Tuesday through Thursday. Highs are expected to reach 62–70°F Tuesday, 54–72°F Wednesday, and as warm as 68–78°F Thursday across Detroit, Ann Arbor, Flint, and Pontiac. Dry conditions will dominate through most of the week, with only a slight chance of rain Tuesday night.
The next organized rain arrives Friday as a stronger system moves into the Midwest, bringing a chance of showers and potentially impacting end-of-week travel.
Residents should protect plants and check for icy spots early today, but can expect improving conditions by midday. Another update will be issued if additional cold or late-week storms pose new risks.
