DETROIT – There’s a chance of some isolated to scattered strong thunderstorms Friday in Metro Detroit.
As the heat and humidity build back into the area Friday, storm chances return in the afternoon and evening.
MAIN FORECAST: Chance of storms Friday followed by dangerous heat
There remains a chance for isolated to scattered strong storms from 2 p.m. until 8 p.m. Friday.
Then, there’s another storm possibility Saturday morning into the early afternoon with a lifting warm front. Storm Prediction Center gives areas north of I-94 a marginal risk for severe storms on Saturday -- wind and hail are the primary threats.
4Warn Weather alert for extreme heat
A 4Warn Weather Alert has been issued for Saturday through Tuesday due to dangerous heat. An Extreme Heat Watch has been issued for all of Southeast Michigan during this timeframe.
Daytime high temperatures will be in the 90s (record territory), and with high humidity, the feels-like temperatures will likely reach the triple digits.
Warm, muggy nights with lows only in the 70s will not provide much relief for those who do not have air conditioning.
Please check on your loved ones and neighbors. During this time, you want to reduce outdoor activity, drink plenty of water and wear loose, lightweight clothing.
Dangerous heat for Ford Fireworks
The Ford Fireworks will be on Monday in Downtown Detroit, and as of right now, you’ll want to pack the cooler with lots of chilled water!
You might want to also pack an umbrella -- not to block rain, but rather to protect you from the sun!
Sunny and hot, with highs in the mid- to upper 90s and feeling like 100-105 degrees.
We stay very warm through midweek, with increasing shower and storm chances on Wednesday and Thursday.
