The smoke from the Canadian wildfires continues to impact the region throughout our Friday, prompting some hazardous air quality readings across the majority of Southeastern Michigan. Our air quality index is in the very unhealthy to hazardous range for everybody, and we will keep these kind of readings around through the rest of the day today and into the end of the week on Friday.

Remember, if you do have to go outside, wear a mask due to the smoke from the Canadian wildfires, but best advice is to remain indoors and in air-conditioning as it will continue to be hot while we are also dealing with the air quality concerns over the next few days.

We will keep some sunshine trying to get through some of the smoke/haze as we work throughout the day. High temperatures warming into the upper 80s to near 90° by late Friday afternoon.

Our next chance of showers and thunderstorms rolls into the forecast by late Friday night and into the start of the weekend on Saturday. Some thunderstorms could potentially be strong to severe looking ahead into the start of the weekend, as high temperatures warm into the upper 80s to lower 90s by Saturday afternoon.

Drier weather works into the region by the end of the weekend on Sunday, before more chances of rain move-in late Monday night into Tuesday. High temperatures will remain into the middle 80s through the end of the weekend and first few days of next week.

Then, after the chances of rain to start next week, looks like we go below average in the temperature department for a little bit. High temperatures warming to only into the upper 70s to around 80° by the time we get to next Wednesday.

We will keep some sunshine into the forecast by the time we get to next Thursday. High temperatures will warm into the lower 80s by Thursday afternoon.
