Soak Up Friday’s Sunshine — Metro Detroit’s in for a Wet Weekend Ahead

Metro Detroiters, brace yourselves for a weather rollercoaster this weekend.

 

Today, Friday, October 17, 2025, offers a pleasant reprieve with mostly sunny skies and temperatures reaching a comfortable 66°F.

 

It's the perfect opportunity to enjoy outdoor activities before conditions change.

 

Saturday brings a surge of warmth, with highs soaring to 77°F.

 

However, this brief taste of summer is accompanied by increasing cloudiness and the potential for an afternoon thunderstorm.

 

By Saturday night, a low-pressure system moves in, ushering in widespread and heavy rain that will persist into Sunday.

 

Sunday's forecast includes very windy conditions, with periods of rain and thunderstorms throughout the day.

 

Gusty winds may pose hazards, so securing outdoor items is advisable.

 

Rainfall totals are expected to be significant, with most areas receiving around an inch, and localized spots potentially seeing up to two inches.

 

Despite the wet conditions, several events are scheduled across Metro Detroit this weekend.

 

On Saturday, the Downtown Dearborn Fall Bazaar offers great food and live art demonstrations.

 

Elmwood Cemetery's new nighttime illumination event, "Elmwood Alight," provides a unique seasonal experience.

 

Beacon Park hosts a cider mill experience complete with cider, doughnuts, caramel apples, crafts, and pumpkin painting.

 

For those planning to attend the Detroit Free Press Marathon on Sunday, be prepared for wet and windy conditions.

 

Participants and spectators should dress appropriately and stay informed about any weather-related updates.

 

In summary, enjoy today's sunshine and warmth, but prepare for a wet and windy weekend ahead.

 

Stay safe and make the most of the indoor and outdoor activities Metro Detroit has to offer.
