DETROIT – The only question about today is how much cloud cover we’ll have, as some remnants from thunderstorms to our south could impact the amount of sun we get. We’ll get some sunshine, for sure, but the amount of clouds will dictate just how hot we get.
Right now, I’m banking on enough of a mix that will allow high temperatures to reach the upper 80s. The humidity, of course, will make it feel warmer, like the low to mid 90s. A light and variable wind will not help much.
There’s also a thunderstorm chance this afternoon. Most computer models don’t show much activity,, but one model generates a few storms along lake breezes flowing inland.
Today’s sunset is at 8:15 p.m.
It will be partly cloudy Thursday night, with only the slight chance for a rogue shower or thunderstorm. Muggy lows will be in the low 70s.
Thunderstorm chance Friday
Friday will be partly cloudy with a better chance for some afternoon thunderstorms. A strong storm cannot be ruled out.
Humid highs will reach the mid to upper 80s.
Shower and thunderstorm chances will continue Friday night, with lows in the low 70s.
Hot, humid weekend ahead

Quick tropical note
Four different long-range computer models suggest tropical development in the Caribbean, with a hurricane hitting the central Gulf Coast Sunday night or Monday. Stay tuned.
