Metro Detroit weather: Hazy and hot day with highs around 87
The Brief
Highs will be close to 90 Tuesday, but there won't be much humidity yet.
The humidity cranks up on Wednesday, as highs again soar to almost 90.
Expect a layer of haze over the area thanks to Canadian wildfires.
DETROIT (FOX 2) - It's a warm one across metro Detroit today — highs climbing to around 87 degrees under partly cloudy skies.
Not much humidity to sweat through just yet, but the sky's got that hazy look again thanks to lingering wildfire smoke drifting in from Canada. It's enough to filter the sunshine and give everything a soft, milky glow through the afternoon.
Tonight, things stay mild. Lows dip only to around 69 degrees, and you'll start to feel the humidity creeping back in as steady southerly winds blow at 10 to 20 mph. That warm breeze is helping to load the atmosphere ahead of a cold front set to move through on Wednesday.
But don't expect an immediate cooldown. Wednesday still heats up to 87, and this time the humidity tags along for real. It'll feel stickier as the day goes on, and by the afternoon, rain chances start to climb. Expect scattered showers and storms by evening—some could be strong, especially with all that warm, moist air in place. Heat indices climb to nearly 90 degrees.
Rain hangs around into Thursday morning, especially for folks south of I-94, before finally clearing out. Behind the front, we get a bit of a breather—cooler air settles in, dropping Thursday's high to just 75 degrees. A little more breathable, a little less stormy, and a break from the heat.

June 2025 full moon: It's been years since you've seen one that looks like this
June 2025's full moon is coming to a sky near you in the early morning hours of June 11. And while all June full moons ride low in the sky, spring's final full moon this year will be the lowest full moon in almost 20 years. The strawberry moon will rise on the evening of Tuesday, June 10, and will shine into Wednesday morning, a "sight that can be seen around the world," said Brian Lada, an AccuWeather meteorologist. June's full moon is called the strawberry moon because it signaled to some Native American tribes that it was the time of year to gather ripening wild strawberries, according to the Old Farmer's Almanac. Notably, this year's strawberry moon could actually have a reddish glow, due to how low it will sit in the sky and the haze from wildfires. June's full moon will reach peak illumination on June 11, 2025, at 3:44 a.m. ET, the Almanac said. But it will look plenty full as it rises the evening before, June 10. The strawberry moon is the most colorful of the year because it takes a low, shallow path across the sky, said Bob Bonadurer, director of the Milwaukee Public Museum's planetarium. The June full moon's arc across the sky means moonlight must travel through more of the Earth's atmosphere, which can give it a colorful tint. "So there's a chance it will actually look a little bit reddish or pink, and, and so that may also be part of the origin of the name," Chris Palma, professor of astronomy and astrophysics at Penn State University, told AccuWeather. Smoke in the atmosphere from Canadian wildfires could also act to create a colorful moon. According to EarthSky, the moon will the lowest in the sky that it's been since 2006. "That's because we're in the midst of a major lunar standstill," which has to do with the moon's orbit around the Earth. "It's all about the inclination of the moon's orbit, which undergoes an 18.6-year cycle," noted EarthSky's John Jardine Goss. "The cycle happens because the moon's orbit is being slowly dragged around – mostly due to the pull of the sun – every 18.6 years." This year's major lunar standstill culminated in January 2025. And we're still close enough to it that the standstill is affecting the path of this June full moon, EarthSky said.

Warm and sticky, scattered showers, storms
Skies will remain mostly cloudy, with occasional showers and isolated storms developing along a slow-moving cold front, especially across the eastern half of the state with a ripple of low pressure. Temperatures will hover around 80s degrees, although only in the mid-70 farther northwest behind the front. A cluster of showers and storms south of the nearly stalled front will brush southern Ohio this evening and linger overnight, focused well to the south of I-70. As the frontal boundary sags south Saturday, skies will turn partly sunny, with temperatures in the seasonable upper 70s. However, another round of showers will return early Sunday with a disturbance crossing the Ohio Valley through early afternoon, with some clearing later in the day. More scattered storms are likely Monday afternoon and early Tuesday, as a system drops southeast from the Canadian plains. Skies will finally clear up by the middle of next week, as high pressure builds into the region, with temperatures warming to the low 80s. Friday: Mostly cloudy, few showers, storms. High 81 Tonight: Showers early, fog later. Low 64 Saturday: Partly sunny. High 79 Sunday: Showers, storms. High 77 (64) Monday: Partly sunny, showers, storms p.m. High 77 (63) Tuesday: Scattered showers, storms. High 77 (60) Wednesday: Mostly sunny. High 80 (58) Thursday: Partly sunny.

Steelworkers Humanity Fund donates $20,000 to support wildfire relief efforts in Saskatchewan
TORONTO, June 06, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- The Steelworkers Humanity Fund (SHF) is donating $20,000 to support people and communities evacuated due to recent wildfires in Saskatchewan. Following a worsening of weather conditions in Northern Saskatchewan the SHF is partnering again with the Canadian Red Cross (CRC) by answering its emergency wildfire relief appeal. This donation follows the SHF's contribution to emergency relief efforts in neighbouring Manitoba. Many United Steelworkers (USW) union members in the area have been directly affected by the situation and have been evacuated, including virtually all USW members who live in Creighton, Sask., located down the road from Flin Flon, Man. As of June 4, the CRC has registered more than 8,000 people from over 2,800 households evacuated due to the wildfires in Saskatchewan. The Steelworkers Humanity Fund's latest $20,000 donation to the CRC will be used to assist those affected by the wildfires in Saskatchewan with immediate and ongoing relief. This includes financial assistance, support to evacuees and the communities hosting them, recovery and resilience efforts in response to the wildfires, as well as supporting community preparedness and risk reduction for future disaster events within the province. "Our thoughts are with the families and communities who have been forced to flee their homes due to the devastating wildfires in Saskatchewan," said Marty Warren, SHF President and USW National Director. Anyone wishing to donate can visit the Red Cross 2025 Saskatchewan Wildfires Appeal website. Individual donations will be matched by the federal government. Founded in 1985, the Steelworkers Humanity Fund is a registered charitable organization that focuses primarily on development projects and emergency aid in developing countries but also supports Canadian communities. USW members contribute to the fund through clauses negotiated into collective agreements. In some cases, employers make matching contributions to the fund.
