And now were staring at a three-day holiday weekend for mostIll get to that part of the forecast in a moment. Highs (as long as we get any sunshine) should reach the mid to upper 70s (25 to 26 degrees Celsius). Partly cloudy to mostly clear Saturday night, with lows in the mid 50s (14 degrees Celsius). Theres a better chance of showers and possible thunderstorms Sunday night, with warmer lows in the mid 60s (18 degrees Celsius).

I know, and it will be a very warm and steamy week ahead. We start the week off in an Air Quality Alert around Metro Detroit due to the dangerous heat and humidity, lack of wind, and damaging sunlight. So, do your part and dont pollute, dont cut the grass today, dont get gas if you dont have to etc...Sunrise is at 6:04 a.m. Its more warm and muggy than anything all week long with temps in the low to mid 90s feeling even warmer, and getting dangerous. But the weekend ahead looks like mid 80s as slightly cooler air settles into Metro Detroit for just a little while.

Theres a different feel to the air out there today, as the humidity and heat will crank up a notch around Metro Detroit this Friday before the 4th. And, today will likely be the steamiest day of the Holiday Weekend as it looks like the humidity lessens just enough on Saturday and Sunday making those more comfortable days if there is such a thing in this heat wave. Sunset is at 9:13 a.m.We have more 90s coming at you this Holiday Weekend, but the dew points and humidity look to take a more comfy step backwards, which we will take! So highs around 92F for the 4th Of July tomorrow around Metro Detroit and not terribly uncomfortable under mostly sunny to partly cloudy skies. Have a wonderful Holiday Weekend.
