Southeast Michigan residents face a cold November weekend with wind chills dropping into the 20s before a warming trend pushes temperatures toward 60 degrees by late next week, according to a report by ClickOnDetroit.
Saturday night temperatures will fall into the lower to middle 30s across the region. A northwest breeze will create wind chills in the middle and upper 20s by Sunday morning, ClickOnDetroit reported. Most of Metro Detroit remains dry, though light lake-effect rain sprinkles or melting wet snow could brush Sanilac and St. Clair counties near Lake Huron without leaving any accumulation.
The Detroit Lions play the New England Patriots thousands of miles away at Allianz Arena on Sunday. Kickoff is set for 9:30 a.m. Eastern time, which is 3:30 p.m. local time in Munich, Germany.
Temperatures near the stadium will hover in the mid-40s at kickoff and fall toward 40 degrees by evening under mostly cloudy skies. The weather in Germany offers a familiar November chill for fans watching from abroad or back in Michigan.
High pressure builds across the Great Lakes on Monday to bring sunshine and afternoon highs near 50 degrees. Morning commuters will contend with near-freezing temperatures and wind chills in the upper 20s.
Temperatures will climb to around 53 degrees on Tuesday and reach roughly 55 degrees on Wednesday with clear skies.
The warming trend continues into the second half of the week, with highs touching the upper 50s on Thursday. Readings will approach 60 degrees by Friday and Saturday, sitting several degrees above the mid-November average high of the upper 40s.
