DETROIT – Well now, what a spectacular day we’re having! Temperatures in the 70s with sunshine, low humidity, and a light breeze are all the ingredients necessary for a splendid late-summer afternoon. The fair weather cumulus clouds that popped up this afternoon (those “cotton ball” clouds) will fade away toward sunset, leaving us with clear night ahead. Temperatures will fall nicely in the dry air, down into the mid to upper 50s by dawn (that’s 14° Celsius for our Canadian neighbors using the Metric System). The air should be calm overnight but, if there’s any very light breeze at all, it would be from the south.
