Metro Detroit finally has a chance to reach 70 degrees after 9 days in a row of highs in the 50s and 60s. Plan for an abundant amount of sunshine to start this Memorial Day which will give us a quick boost in temperatures. If you are heading to a local parade, don’t forget the sunscreen. The UV index will be high with the clear start to the day. Overall, a pleasant Memorial Day is on tap with dry weather and high temperatures on either side of 70.
