After a string of cooler temperatures, the last few weeks, we’re going to start to warm things up, looking ahead into the weekend, but we also bring dry weather into the forecast as well.

Expect a mixture of sunshine and clouds to start the weekend on Saturday, high temperatures warming into the upper 70s to lower 80s by Saturday afternoon.

Mainly clear skies can be expected overnight tonight, and it will be another comfortable night. Overnight lows dropping into the upper 50s to lower 60s for everyone.

Plenty of sunshine in the forecast, looking ahead into the end of the weekend on Sunday. Temperatures will continue to get warmer by the end of the weekend. High temperatures will warm into the middle 80s by Sunday afternoon.

Looking ahead into next week, we will have a heat wave moving into the region that will bring dangerous heat, and humidity to all of Southeastern Michigan. An area of high-pressure will set up shop over the southeastern, United States, and that will act as a heat pump, bringing in plenty of heat and humidity across the eastern United States.

High temperatures are forecast to warm into the upper 90s and lower 100s starting Tuesday all the way through the end of the week on Friday. Once you factor in the humidity, it will feel more like anywhere from 105° to possibly 110° outside for the heat index. Heat and humidity like this becomes very dangerous in a short period of time. Heat Advisories if not Extreme Heat Warnings will more than likely be needed for the better portion of next week. We have also declared a 4Warn Weather Alert from Tuesday all the way through the end of the week on Friday due to the dangerous heat and humidity.

The last time that Detroit (KDTW) hit 100° for an actual air temperatures was back in 2012, so we are forecasting some extreme heat moving into the region looking ahead into next week.

Plenty of sunshine sticks around through the better portion of next week to go with the heat and humidity, before our next chance of showers and thunderstorms, and it is not a widespread chance of showers and thunderstorms rolls into the region by the time we get to next Friday.
