Getting cooler before hot weather returns to Metro Detroit

Lows will be in the upper 40s in the northwestern suburbs, while lows will be in the lower 50s in Detroit and communities near the shoreline. Overnight, a cold front will sweep over Southeast Michigan. It will usher in cooler air and lead to fewer clouds.
