Weather: High 90°, Low 70°
It's hot. ♨️ This is the time of the year when everyone who complained about the cold in February starts complaining about how hot it is now. That's when you know you're in Michigan. The weather is always changing and no one is ever happy about it! 😂
But in all seriousness: Stay hydrated and try to keep cool. These temperatures, along with the heat index, can lead to serious health issues. We need to keep an eye on our pets and senior citizens.
Along with the heat, there is a risk for severe weather today. We'll be tracking the forecast and watching the radar per usual. Check the latest forecast at ClickOnDetroit.com/WeatherCenter.
