4Warn Weather – Southeast Michigan saw an increase in heat and humidity today, with highs reaching into the low 90s.
With temperatures climbing higher tomorrow, the Detroit National Weather Service has issued an Extreme Heat Warning for noon Tuesday until 8 p.m. Thursday for all of Southeast Michigan.
Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday will feature full sunshine. Each day, Southeast Michigan will reach the mid-90s to 100°.
Adding in the humidity, it will feel like at least 105° during the afternoon hours.
There will be little relief at night with overnight lows only falling to the mid 70s.
Stay hydrated, check on those who are sensitive to the heat, wear light, loose clothing, limit strenuous outdoor activity, and, if you must be outdoors, take breaks in cooler environments. Do not leave kids or pets in a parked vehicle, and direct dogs to walk on the grass on shorter walks.
On the plus side, with mainly clear skies, we’ll have great conditions to see the Strawberry Moon, which peaks this evening.
It won’t be pink but is named for the abundance of strawberries this time of year in North America.
Also of note, Saharan dust will move into Southeast Michigan.
This will give us great sunsets on Tuesday and Wednesday before exiting eastward.
As we finish the week, Friday brings our next chance of rain, which will linger into the weekend.
Friday’s highs will be in the mid 90s. We’ll start to see high temperatures drop back toward 90° on Saturday and Sunday.
