Best weekend weather of the year and some ideas on how to spend your time

Posted

It's tough to find those perfect days in summer when it's not too hot, but it's also not too humid.

This weekend, we hit the jackpot.

After 7 consecutive days of 90°+ heat (by the way, we only reached 90° 7 times in all of 2017), we'll spend most of this weekend in the 70s.

The air over Michigan is also much drier this weekend. Dew point temperatures were in the 70s yesterday, which means it was very humid, and are now in the 40s and 50s.

Bottom line: it's going to be one of the nicest weekends of the summer.

Enjoy some time outside before we heat back up to 90° next week!

If you're looking for something to do this weekend, here are some ideas...
