Temperatures are on the rise as we head towards Memorial Day

Highs in the low 80s

DETROIT – Welcome to Sunday, Motown.

Unlike Saturday, temperatures rise even higher with help from the sun and a southerly wind. After a mild night, it becomes hotter for Memorial Day. The next chance of rain is not until the middle of next week.

Afternoon temperatures to reach low 80s under mostly sunny skies.

Sunday evening will be warm under fair skies. Temperatures will be in the 70s.

Sunset is at 9:01 p.m.

Sunday night will be mild with overnight lows in the lower middle 60s.

What you need to know for Memorial Day

The weather will cooperate with parades and commemorations, especially in the morning and middle part of the day. It will be much hotter in the afternoon as pools open up. Highs will reach 90°F or even a bit more with enough sun sunshine.

Since the temperatures will soar so high, it’s important to get back into safety mode as quickly as possible. Remember to keep children and pets away from empty vehicles. Drink plenty of water and wear light, loose-fitting clothes when outdoors to stay cool and comfortable.
