Weather: Sunny skies and seasonal temperatures continue across Metro Detroit
Sunshine returns across Southeast Michigan today as we can enjoy a beautiful stretch of seasonal weather. High temperatures will be closer to late-May averages, in the low to mid-70s. Low humidity will provide comfortable conditions for outdoor activities, yard work, and time spent outside.
A large area of high pressure remains in control of the weather pattern, keeping skies mostly sunny and preventing any significant storm systems from reaching the region. As a result, dry weather is expected to continue not only today but for the foreseeable future. That high pressure to our west will push eastward on Friday bringing a nice little bump in temperatures, low 80s.
