From fog to haze: Metro Detroit dries out, stays hot this weekend

After a foggy start to Saturday, Southeast Michigan will have mostly sunny skies with haze later in the day.

It will stay hot and humid. Highs will reach the upper 80s across the area as heat indices push to around 90 degrees.

Friday’s flooding

Although we are getting a break from the rain, we still have flood concerns from Friday’s heavy rain. The flood warning for the Rouge River in Wayne County has been canceled due to the river falling below the flood stage of 15 feet early Saturday morning.

Numerous basements were also impacted by flooding, especially on the east side of the metro. Remember that mold development can spread and cause damage well after the floodwaters have receded.

Saturday night, it will be mostly clear. Low will fall to the lower to mid 60s.

Sunday

Sunday will bring partly cloudy to mostly sunny skies. There is the chance of a stray shower over the Thumb in the morning. Expect it to be dry for most of the area. Highs will be in the upper 80s.

Sunday night, it will be partly cloudy with lows in the upper 60s. During the overnight hours, mainly after 2 a.m., widely scattered showers will begin to move into the area from the west.

Monday

The better chance of showers and thunderstorms will be Monday afternoon with mostly cloudy skies. Conditions will be favorable for some storms to become strong as a cold front sweeps southward. Highs will top out in the lower to mid 80s. Lows will fall to the lower to mid 60s.

Tuesday

The chance for showers and thunderstorms will linger into Tuesday morning. Conditions should improve by the afternoon with partly cloudy to mostly cloudy skies. Highs will be noticeably cooler in the mid 70s. Lows will be around 60 degrees.

Rest of workweek

Skies will be mostly sunny to partly cloudy for the rest of the workweek, Wednesday through Friday. Highs will range from the mid 70s to 80 degrees. The normal highs next week are 82 to 83 degrees.
