Sunday night will be mostly clear and warm. Overnight lows will be in the middle and upper 60s. Air conditioners will need to be kept on because the humidity will creep back up.

Monday becomes hazy, hot and humid. Highs will be near 90 degrees or more with heat indices near 95 degrees or more in the afternoon. Scattered showers and thunderstorms have a possibility of popping up during the afternoon commute and the evening. Look out for your neighbors, especially children, seniors and people with respiratory or heart ailments or conditions.

Tuesday, Wednesday and Independence Day, Thursday will be just as stifling, if not more. Afternoon temps will be near 90 degrees with higher heat indices and afternoon showers and storms. With stagnant air possible, too, Detroiters will have to do their best to keep air pollution levels low by carpooling, using public transportation, limit or cease the use of gas-powered equipment and refuel after dusk.
