Detroit's Dramatic Day: From Dense Morning Fog to Soaking Evening Showers!

Good morning, Metro Detroit! If you're stepping out the door this Tuesday, September 23rd, prepare for a rather dramatic start to your day. A thick blanket of dense fog has enveloped the region, creating a picturesque but challenging commute. Visibility is significantly reduced across most areas, making caution on the roads paramount.

Temperatures are starting off on the mild side, hovering in the upper 50s to low 60s, contributing to the high humidity that's fueling this widespread mist.

As the morning progresses, we expect this stubborn fog to gradually lift and dissipate. By late morning to early afternoon, the sun should begin to make a more determined appearance, offering a much-needed break from the gloom.

Temperatures will climb steadily throughout the day, reaching comfortable highs in the mid to upper 70s. It will be a brief window of pleasant, partly sunny conditions, so try to enjoy it while it lasts!

However, don't let the midday sunshine fool you. Our weather story takes a significant turn as we head into the evening hours.

A weather system is tracking towards Southeast Michigan, bringing with it a strong likelihood of rain. Expect showers to begin developing and spreading across the area, particularly after 6 PM. This won't just be a light sprinkle; forecast models indicate the potential for steady, widespread rain that could linger well into the night.

So, if you have evening plans, make sure to grab your umbrella and perhaps a light jacket as temperatures will dip back into the low 60s once the rain arrives.

Looking ahead to Wednesday, we anticipate the lingering rain to clear out by the morning, paving the way for a brighter, albeit cooler, day.

Conditions will feel much fresher as a new air mass moves in, setting the stage for a more autumn-like feel for the rest of the week. But for today, Tuesday, September 23rd, it's a tale of two halves: a foggy start and a soggy finish, so stay informed and stay safe!
