4Warn Weather – An Air Quality Advisory is in effect across most of Southeast Michigan through Saturday night, including Livingston, Washtenaw, Lenawee, Monroe, Wayne, Oakland, Macomb, and St. Clair counties.
Isolated thunderstorms this July 4th brought downpours to some Metro Detroit communities, but conditions are expected to be dry for fireworks shows and other festivities.
Under partly to mostly cloudy skies, late evening temperatures will be in the mid-70s to around 80 degrees. Overnight lows will be around 70 degrees. Winds will be out of the south at 5 to 10 mph.
Air Quality Advisory extended through Saturday, July 5th
The combination of light wildfire smoke and smoke from fireworks is expected to push air quality into the “orange range”—meaning unhealthy for sensitive groups like young children, older adults, and anyone with respiratory issues.
The Air Quality Advisory remains in effect through Saturday night for much of Southeast Michigan, primarily south of I-69.
