DETROIT — The Pittsburgh Steelers finished out the preseason with a 24-17 road loss to the Detroit Lions, but the vibe from the final game was far different from the previous two. As the offense showed signs of life, the Steelers checked off progress boxes.
With that being said, looking back in the loss, here are some winners and losers from the game:

Hot, humid weather arrives with storm chances in Metro Detroit
![Hot, humid weather arrives with storm chances in Metro Detroit Hot, humid weather arrives with storm chances in Metro Detroit](https://res.cloudinary.com/graham-media-group/image/upload/f_auto/q_auto/c_thumb,w_700/v1/media/gmg/RO6BVBPWOVFVFLRJZWLVCZV3P4.jpg?_a=DATAfRfiZAA0)
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.

Wayne County to hold public meeting on plan to store hazardous, radioactive waste in landfill

Chernobyl without power, energy officials fear possible radioactive leak

Wayne County commissioners plan a public discussion Tuesday on a controversial plan to bring hazardous and radioactive waste into a Van Buren Township landfill.
The public discussion is set for 1 p.m. Tuesday at 500 Griswold St. in Detroit, inside the Guardian Building. Several officials were concerned about the plan after the Detroit Free Press reported that Wayne Disposal will take 6,000 cubic yards of soil and concrete, and 4,000 gallons of groundwater contaminated with radiation from a site in New York where the Manhattan Project developed the atomic bomb during and after World War II.
“Transferring nuclear waste poses a serious threat to residents in the area and throughout our county, and we want to make sure their voices are heard,” Wayne County Commission Chair Alisha Bell said in a statement. “We are the nation’s 19th most-populated county and we sit alongside the world’s largest freshwater supply. Surely, there are other, less-populated and less-risky places where this waste can be stored.”
Environmental officials are expected to participate in the discussion, including Elizabeth Browne from the Michigan Department of Environment, Great Lakes and Energy, and Patrick Cullen from the county’s environmental services department. Van Buren Township Supervisor Kevin McNamara is also expected to participate. Commissioners aim to provide sufficient information to divert the hazardous waste elsewhere, according to the Wayne County Commission.
Wayne County Executive Warren Evans previously questioned why wastes find their way to Wayne County. Arizona-based waste giant Republic Services’ Wayne Disposal and Michigan Disposal operate as among the largest hazardous waste landfills and processing facilities in the nation.
“While I understand that these materials have to go somewhere, and few if any public officials are willing to welcome toxic waste with open arms, there needs to be a solution, through new policy or legislation, that doesn’t equal Wayne County as dumping ground for what no one else wants. Because that is an assignment we simply will not accept,” Evans said in a statement.
State and local officials are hamstrung in regulating hazardous waste. A 1992 U.S. Supreme Court ruling on imported garbage declared out-of-state trash “articles of commerce” — essentially a commodity or good — that could not be restricted under the Commerce Clause of the U.S. Constitution. That case arose from St. Clair County officials attempting to restrict a local landfill from accepting out-of-state waste.
State Sen. Darrin Camilleri, D-Trenton, in a statement Monday said the plan to accept the waste is “alarming” and called for a larger discussion about hazardous waste management in the country.
“Wayne County is the most populous county in Michigan, and our state is surrounded by 20% of the world’s fresh water. We cannot continue to be America’s dumping ground for toxic waste. Our district and our community deserve so much better,” Camilleri said.
The meeting will also be livestreamed on the Wayne County Commission YouTube page and available through Zoom at https://zoom.us/j/2234975895.
