Relief from the heat is on the way. A cold front arrives Sunday night into Monday, bringing temperatures down into the upper 70s and low 80s to start the work week. The drop in temperature may be the best way to start the work week!

Before the cold front arrives, however, temperatures will climb into the low 90s Sunday. There is a marginal chance for severe storms in the far southeast corner of the state. The rest of the state remains dry, and fire danger is high across the state, with a Red Flag Warning in effect in the high country and on the western slope until 10 p.m. Sunday.

We will also see the chance for afternoon rain and thunderstorms, which will be a welcome sight. The cooler weather sticks around for the week with a daily chance of showers and thunderstorms until Thursday, when we begin to warm back up and dry out.
Thankfully, there are no triple-digit temperatures in the near future!

Northern Lights Could Be Visible Tonight From These States

The northern lights could be visible once again Sunday night from some northern states, according to the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration—although the auroral activity will be limited to only northern states. The aurora borealis could appear tonight for viewers in the continental United States, including in ... More Minnesota, North Dakota and Montana. Getty Images No geomagnetic storms or solar winds are expected to impact the Earth on Sunday night, but NOAA is forecasting a maximum Kp index of three out of nine—indicating the aurora borealis could still be visible. The aurora will potentially be visible in eight states along the Canadian border, including Montana, North Dakota, and Minnesota, as well as in most of Canada and Alaska. The forecast also indicates a slight chance for minor solar radiation and radio blackouts—but forecasters noted there were no radio blackouts over the past 24 hours. The best time to view the northern lights is between 10 p.m. and 2 a.m., according to NOAA. The agency also recommends viewers move as far away from sources of light pollution as possible. The aurora borealis is most visible the closer one moves towards the north pole, but trying to view the northern lights from the far north in June could be difficult due to the longer daylight hours around the summer solstice. What States Will The Northern Lights Be Visible From? Most of Alaska and North Dakota may be able to see the northern lights, according to NOAA, along with northern parts of Washington, Idaho, Montana, Minnesota, Wisconsin and Michigan. How Can I Photograph The Northern Lights? An expert writing for National Geographic recommends photographers use a wide-angle lens and a tripod to capture as much of the sky as possible. A low light-capable lens will also help better capture the night sky. Smartphone cameras are now powerful enough to capture the northern lights, the expert said, but it's still recommended that photographers use a tripod in order to hold the camera still long enough to capture the lights. In May 2024, Earth was impacted by a major space weather event, later named the Gannon Storm by astronomers, which was caused by coronal ejections from a massive sunspot cluster on the surface of the Sun. The storm caused major geomagnetic storm conditions on Earth, making the aurora borealis visible as far south as Florida.

These tips can help keep people stay cool and healthy during a heat wave

Here are tips for beating the heat in Southeast Michigan Here are tips for beating the heat in Southeast Michigan Here are tips for beating the heat in Southeast Michigan The first day of summer officially was Friday, and on Saturday, people in Michigan felt it. Metro Detroit, much like the rest of the country, began to experience the season's first heat wave, and families across the region made their way to wherever they could cool off, like at Heritage Park in Farmington Hills. "My kids all week were like, 'We really want water, mom,' and we couldn't wait for today because it was so hot outside," Jenna Megalizzi, who is visiting from Pennsylvania, said. "So, we kind of scoured the area and figured this was a good place to water is always welcome during the summer heat." While the splash pad was busy all day Saturday, it should look like more of the same as the weather stays uncomfortably hot. Experts say heat like this could be dangerous. "When you have heat exhaustion, when you have high temperatures, you are also putting your body through a dehydration kind of strike," Dr. Chadi Alraies, a cardiologist at Detroit Medical Center, said. Alraies added that, similar to when we experience the extreme cold, he expects the emergency room to be busier than normal during this heat wave. "The squeeze function of the heart will go up, the exertion that the heart has to go through goes up, the blood pressure goes up, which also puts stress on the heart," Alraies said. He suggests people limit their time in the sun, especially from 12 p.m. to 4 p.m., and always stay hydrated by drinking water with electrolytes. Parents at the splashpad said they're emphasizing that same advice to their kids. Cousins Eve and Treasure told me their plans to stay cool, "Probably in the air conditioning once we get home. Yeah, a lot of water and sunscreen too. Staying hydrated, too," Cousins Eve and Treasure said. Another important note for times like this is that the heat is most dangerous for the very young and very old.
