Metro Detroit weather forecast: Summer in the city!

DETROIT – It’s another spectacular summer day, with temperatures warm enough to enjoy the lake or pool, but the humidity low enough to keep those warm temps from becoming uncomfortable.

Even with the dry air overhead, it will become barely unstable enough later this afternoon that a few pop-up showers or thunderstorms could materialize. But most of us should remain dry, and that continues into the overnight period, under mostly clear skies, with lows generally in the mid 60s (18 degrees Celsius). Unfortunately, there won’t be any wind to send a little breeze in the windows.
