What to Wear on Memorial Day 2016? The Weather

Summer-like weather in Metro Detroit is expected to last through the Memorial Day Weekend, though picnickers and partiers may have to dodge a few rain showers.

A warm, humid air mass has settled over the area, and that could make temperatures in mid 80s — considered above normal even in the hottest part of the summer, AccuWeather.com meteorologist Brian Lada says — feel like the sticky 90s.

Did someone mention a pool party?

Usually, temperatures are in the 70s at this time of year, Lada said.

Yes, but you’ll need to plan around thunderstorms every afternoon, Lada says. The warm, humid air are the main ingredients in thunderstorms, but Lada said they will be spotty in nature and aren’t likely to produce severe weather.

Just be ready to grab the ribs when you head inside.
