Metro Detroit weather: Another sweltering day that will feel close to 100
DETROIT (FOX 2) - Another toasty start to the morning with temperatures in the 70s with dew point readings in the upper 60s making it feel tropical outside.
It'll be another steamy day with highs in the lower to mid 90s with feel like temperatures in the mid to upper 90s, if not closer to 100.
There is a marginal risk for severe weather with an isolated stronger storm developing through the afternoon. Main threat with the storms will be gusty winds, smaller hail and very heavy rain. Lows tonight will cool to the mid 70s.
This hot and humid trend will continue through the rest of the workweek with highs in the 90s through the weekend and daily storm chances.
There is some relief in sight as we head through next week with highs cooling to the lower to mid-80s with sunshine!
Stay cool!
