DETROIT – With enough sunshine, the heat index will make it feel much warmer today with highs already in the 80s, so make sure we’re drinking lots of water.
It will be humid, breezy, and showers and storms will fire up with the heat of the afternoon and early evening.
Severe weather risk
We are under a Slight Risk for severe weather south of I-94 for our South Zone, and a Marginal Risk for the rest of us. So the strongest wind and hail producing storms will likely be south, but we need to keep an eye to the skies for a few storms capable of damaging wind, hail, and lightning around SE Lower Michigan and Southern Ontario.

Wednesday looks to be a warming and sunny day without the threat of storms and highs well into the mid 80s. Thursday is another dry and warm day with sunshine and mid to upper 80s and a heat index into the 90s.
Rest of week
