Detroit, MI
Hot, humid weather arrives with storm chances in Metro Detroit
A splendid summer Saturday will be followed by a sauna-like Sunday in Metro Detroit.
Daytime and overnight temperatures will increase. Saturday night, lows will be in the lower to mid 60s. The warmer locations will be near Detroit, Warren, Dearborn and Downriver. Lows will be around 60 degrees in the Thumb. Skies will be partly cloudy, and southwesterly winds will be 5 mph and lower.
Sunday
Sunday morning will bring the chance of a few sprinkles in the morning. Then, an isolated shower or thunderstorm could pop up during the afternoon and evening. The Storm Prediction Center has placed areas south of M-59 in Southeast Michigan in the marginal (level one of five) risk category, because there is a very low chance that an isolated thunderstorm could produce gusty winds. Sunday’s low risk should not warrant a change of outdoor plans, unless threatening weather approaches. Most areas will not see any rain. Plan on partly cloudy skies, but check the 4Warn Weather App for Exact Track 4D Radar and any updates.
The bigger issue for most people will be the heat. Sunday afternoon’s temperatures will reach the upper 80s in Metro Detroit and the mid 80s in the Thumb. Winds will be out of the south and southwest around 5 mph.
Sunday night, under partly cloudy skies, lows will be in the upper 60s.
Monday
The heat and humidity will turn up a notch on Monday. Drinking water and other healthy beverages will be key. Highs will be around 90 degrees, while the heat index will reach the lower 90s. It will be partly cloudy during the day and night. Lows will only be around 70 degrees.
Tuesday
The conditions will be favorable for Tuesday to get even hotter. A warmer, more humid air mass will push into Southeast Michigan, which will be followed closely by a cold front. There is a chance of showers and thunderstorms, including the possibility for a couple of them to become strong to severe. Highs will be in the lower 90s with heat indices in the mid to upper 90s.
Midweek through Weekend
A stray shower will be possible on Wednesday, but the chance is very low. There will be a slight chance of rain on Thursday and a better chance on Friday. The daytime highs will cool to near normal by next weekend.

Chickens and geese that went missing from a local nonprofit’s Detroit site were found in the backyard of a nearby home, the director of operations said Wednesday.
The Full Circle Foundation, a Grosse Point Park-based nonprofit, said more than a dozen chickens and geese were believed stolen from a chicken coop on Detroit’s east side that also features the Full Circle Edible Garden.
The nonprofit provides training and job opportunities for young people with special needs.
Neighbors who learned from news reports about the missing flock found the “chickens were being held in the backyard of a vacant home not far from the Full Circle Edible Garden,” said Stephanie DiVirgil, director of operations. She said Ribbon Farm 4-H owns the flock.
“The homeowner was contacted, and she reached out to Full Circle to confirm,” said DiVirgil. “We were able to retrieve all of the chickens and geese that were found on the property, 19 in total.”
The foundation and Ribbon Farms 4-H are working to secure the site, including cameras, fencing and lights.
“We will likely start a fundraising campaign to have these items installed,” DiVirgil said. “We’ve gotten amazing support from the community, including offers to help pay for these additional security measures.”

The Detroit Police Department is investigating after a 5-year-old child was shot in the arm near a park on Tuesday.
The shooting happened at about 8:50 p.m. near the Fargo-Oaklfield Playground on the city’s west side. Police Chief Todd Bettison says the child was in front of his home riding a bike with his father supervising at the time of the shooting.
Bettison says an individual at the park fired multiple shots, striking the child. He says the boy’s father reported hearing shots and the child falling from his bike.
Bettison says the child is expected to be OK.
Bettison says the person appears to have been firing shots randomly, which he calls “problematic.” He says a person of interest is described as possibly between 15 and 16 years old and wearing a mask. He says the person is known to frequent the area.
“When you fire a weapon, what goes up must go down,” Bettison said. “To parents and everyone, know where your kids are. Juveniles should not have guns, and whether you’re an adult or a child, you should not be firing a weapon inside of the city limits.”
Detroit Mayor Mary Sheffield released a statement, saying in part, “By the grace of God, this young boy will recover from his injury and is on his way home from the hospital. With that said, this incident was senseless and could have had a much more tragic ending.
“Every child in Detroit deserves to feel safe riding their bike, playing outside, and simply being a child in their own neighborhood. We cannot accept a reality where our children are placed in harm’s way because someone chose to recklessly fire a gun.”
Anyone with information is asked to call Crime Stoppers at 800-Speak Up.
