It’s been quite some time since we checked in with Detroit Lions fans regarding their opinion of general manager Brad Holmes. The last time we polled our audience was almost exactly a year ago, following the team’s 2025 NFL Draft. Unfortunately, those poll results were lost to time (and a migration to a new content management system at SB Nation).
Detroit, MI
Sunshine for Sunday before strong to severe thunderstorms are possible for Metro Detroit
4Warn Weather – SUNDAY: Mostly sunny skies, a chance of showers and thunderstorms in the afternoon and evening. Some storms could be strong to severe. High: 79. Winds: Southeast 5-15 MPH with gusts as high as 20 MPH.
SUNDAY NIGHT: Mostly cloudy skies, a chance of showers and thunderstorms. Low: 62. Winds: Southeast 5-15 MPH with gusts as high as 20 MPH.
MONDAY: Mostly cloudy skies, a chance of rain showers. A few breaks in the clouds expected in the afternoon and evening. High: 75. Winds: Southeast 10-20 MPH with gusts as high as 20 MPH.
MONDAY NIGHT: Partly cloudy skies. Low: 56. Winds: West 5-15 MPH with gusts as high as 25 MPH.
After a dry start to the weekend with plenty of sunshine after the few showers and thunderstorms on Saturday Morning, we’ve got more chances for showers and thunderstorms in the forecast looking ahead into the end of the weekend.
We will start the day with some sunshine on Sunday, then increase the cloud cover we had through the afternoon and into the evening. Showers and thunderstorms are expected Sunday afternoon into Sunday evening, some of those could be strong to possibly severe.
The Storm Prediction Center has placed most of Southeastern Michigan in a Marginal Risk (1 out of 5) for severe weather on Sunday with Lenawee and Monroe Counties under a Slight Risk (2 out of 5) for severe weather. This risk for severe weather continues further south into the Ohio Valley where an Enhanced Risk (3 out of 5) for severe weather is in place from Missouri into Ohio and Kentucky.
Damaging winds in excess of 60 miles an hour and large hail will be the primary threat, although heavy rainfall will also be possible with some thunderstorms, as well as an isolated tornado could be possible as well. High temperatures heading for the upper 70s to near 80 degrees by Sunday afternoon.
We keep the chance of rain showers and clouds into the forecast. Looking ahead Memorial Day on Monday. High temperatures remaining into the low mid 70s by Monday afternoon.
Then we start to break up the cloud cover, bring a little sunshine into the forecast, but we also keep the chance of rain showers and a few thunderstorms into the forecast as well for Tuesday. High temperatures remaining in the low 70s by Tuesday afternoon.
We will keep the chance of rain showers into the forecast looking ahead to Wednesday, before high-pressure moves into the region and dries us out. Lots of sunshine is expected Thursday and into the end of next week on Friday. High temperatures cooler, in the 60s looking ahead into Wednesday before we warm back into the 70s for the end of next week.
The dry weather sticks around into the start of next weekend on Saturday, partly cloudy skies can be expected. High temperatures heading for the lower 80s before our next chance of rain moves into the region late on Saturday night.

4Warn Weather – SATURDAY: Mostly cloudy skies. A chance of showers and thunderstorms. A few storms could be strong with gusty winds and hail. High: 71.
SATURDAY NIGHT: Mostly cloudy skies, becoming partly cloudy skies late. Low: 45.
SUNDAY (MOTHER’S DAY): Mix of sunshine and clouds, cooler temperatures. High: 61.
SUNDAY NIGHT: Partly cloudy skies. Another chilly night. Low: 41.
MONDAY: Mostly sunny skies, remaining chilly. High: 58.
After a beautiful end to the week on Friday with sunshine and a little cloud cover, with warmer temperatures moving into the region as well, some of us are waking up to some patchy dense fog on Saturday morning. Some places south of M-59 are seeing reduced visibilities down to around a mile. If you do run into some patchy dense fog, be sure to use your low beams.
That warming trend continues into the start of the weekend on Saturday, but it also brings a chance of showers and thunderstorms. Another cold front will work through the region by Saturday afternoon and early Saturday evening and that will bring our thunderstorm chance. High temperature is warming into low 70s by Saturday afternoon.
The Storm Prediction Center has placed most of the region under a Marginal Risk (1 out of 5) on our severe weather scale for the start of the weekend. Gusty winds and hail are the primary threats as we work through the start of the weekend, but this will not be a widespread threat for severe thunderstorms.
Behind that cold front for the end of the weekend on Sunday, we will keep a mixture of sunshine and clouds into the forecast. High temperatures running about 10 to 15° cooler to end the weekend. Expect high to warm into the upper 50s to lower 60s by Sunday afternoon.
Drier weather sticks around for the start of next week, before another chance of rain moves into the region by the time we get to Tuesday. The cooler-than-average temperatures will continue into the start of next week as well. Expect high temperatures to remain in the 50s for Monday and Tuesday.
Temperature start to warm up by the middle of next week, and Drier weather moves back in by Wednesday behind another cold front moving into the region. Expect high temperatures into the lower 60s on Wednesday to warm into the upper 60s by the time we get to Thursday. Above average temperatures move back into the region as we look ahead into the end of the week, expect high temperatures back into the lower 70s by the time we get to Friday.

But as you can see below, Holmes has been an extremely popular figure among Detroit sports fans for pretty much his entire career.
Although, if there was a time when Holmes’ popularity took a hit, it was likely during the 2025 NFL season, when the Lions took their first clear step back since he and Dan Campbell came to town.
Since last year’s data was lost to time, this is a good opportunity to check back in with Lions fans. While Holmes certainly deserves a ton of credit for getting the Lions back to relevancy and helping them produce four consecutive seasons with winning records, there are some serious blemishes on his resumé now. The 2024 NFL Draft class has not lived up to his high standards through two seasons, some of his riskiest picks over the last few years have all failed to pay off, and last year’s roster just wasn’t good enough to withstand the injuries.
But Holmes is also coming off a very crowd-pleasing draft. Detroit addressed their two biggest needs with their first two selections, and there were no crazy head-scratching picks or expensive trade ups. Many have categorized his latest draft as “back to business as usual,” which could have some fans he lost back on his side.
However, that is all up to you. Vote on your thoughts about Holmes’ time in Detroit below, and share your extended thoughts in the comment section at the bottom of the page.
