Do you concur with this forecast Metalhead?
Not entirely.
I think daytime highs in the low to mid 80s (which is normal for this time of year), dewpoints in the 60s (also not uncommon), and morning lows in the low to mid 60s will be predominant (also normal). There'll probably be a couple days that push close to the upper 80s to 90. In other words, a pretty typical late July pattern for southern Michigan with just a touch more humidity than normal.
This Friday will be a cooler day with highs likely to top in the mid to upper 70s. Channel 7's prediction of 84 degrees for Friday is a joke.
We'll be sitting on the edge of a much more pronounced hot air dome to our northwest - the Dakotas, Montana and prairie provinces of Canada will be baking. This would suggest an elevated risk of some decent severe weather events in the western Great Lakes & upper MS valley region (better risk is in Illinois, Iowa and Wisconsin). One or two of those could sneak into parts of Michigan.
Most days here will feature plenty of sun or at least partial sun starting this weekend through next week.
For yesterday, most Metro Detroit reporting stations saw highs of 73 or 74. A couple reached only 72. At least one (Detroit City) reached 75. I'll call yesterday a "draw" between myself and the TV guys, even though I was a bit closer in most locales. It reached 73 at my house.
For today, I am in agreement with the NWS forecast of 79 - 81 degrees for most of SE Michigan. I do think some areas in the northeast, closer to Pt. Huron, might only make it to 76 or 77.
