Today: The 5-Day Weather Forecast October 13, 2025 starts as it will end: with rain. Commuters and late risers alike wake up today to gray clouds and the pitter-patter of rain. With the persistent drip from the clouds, temperatures only reach 61. Winds saunter through at an average 5 mph, barely hitting 12 mph for gusts. Most of the day focuses on wind direction changing from the south to northwest, and this does not move clouds fast. This means overcast skies remain with an eventually stagnant wind.
Tonight: After nightfall, our rain finishes around 9 p.m. This comes with a welcome break in the clouds as winds pick up to 6 mph. Winds strengthen into tomorrow morning with northern temperatures following close behind, harboring a low of 52.
Tomorrow: As the stray sun ray strikes the sleeping city, temperatures shoot back up through the 50s, but clouds quickly gather. Our average wind will blow from the northeast at 11 mph, with gusts consistently over 20 mph. Contrasting this, a rain system enters from the southwest. Expect the first drops to fall in the afternoon and showers to continue on and off. Although it hails from Texas and rides a rush of Pacific and Gulf air, temperatures toward the ground refuse to go any higher than 59 for a high and 52 for a low.
Wednesday: When we arrive at the middle of the week, high temperatures bottom out at 58. The high-pressure system anticipated to be over Michigan will finally become our friend, dissipating Tuesday’s rain by noon and clouds by evening. Winds remain off the lake, averaging 9 mph, with 16 mph gusts. By the end of Wednesday, our winds turn more southward, increasing the low temperature from Tuesday to 53.
Extended: Thursday sees temperatures swell into the 60s again, and blast into the 70s by Friday. Low temperatures should also spring back into the high 50s by Friday. The cause of this is a low pressure over the Central Plains deepening, prompting the high pressure to weaken. Winds react to this, intensifying to end the week. Howling out of the southwest Friday, winds will average 12 mph with gusts possibly topping 30 mph. Along with the entering low pressure, rain will complete its sweep of being in the forecast all five days. Both Thursday’s and Friday’s rain should only last from noon until evening, but accumulation Friday will trump Thursday’s drizzles. Stay up to date to know when this train of rain ends!
