DETROIT – Remember those hot days in May? Well, they’re on the way back, and by the weekend, if you don’t have air conditioning, you’ll seriously wish you did.
But not Monday night, as mostly clear skies (partly cloudy south), combined with light wind and dry air will allow temperatures to fall to near 60 degrees (15 degrees Celsius) in our Urban Heat Island near Detroit, to the low to mid-50s (11 to 12 degrees Celsius) in the Thumb. Light east wind.

We should start our Tuesday with some sunshine, then more clouds build in during the afternoon with a few widely scattered showers or thunderstorms possible. Some of us may not even get any rain, but keep a close eye on our app’s radar if you have outdoor afternoon or early evening plans, such as the Tigers game at Comerica Park.
