By Cindy Heflin

If you’ve been itching to hit the pool or the beach, you’re going to like the Memorial Day weekend forecast.

Temperatures will be pushing 90 on Sunday, and the rest of the weekend promises to deliver plenty of warmth and sunshine, though showers and thunderstorms are possible every day but Sunday.

And If you’re getting an early start on your weekend, Thursday promises to be nice as well, with a high of 84 and sunny conditions after some overnight fog clears out around 9 a.m.

Unfortunately, those with asthma or other respiratory conditions may need to take precautions Thursday. The Michigan Department of Environmental Quality has declared Thursday an Ozone Action Day. Pollutants are expected to be in the unhealthy range for sensitive individuals, the National Weather Service said.

The high Friday is expected to be 84 with a chance of showers and thunderstorms after 2 p.m. Otherwise expect partly sunny conditions. The chance of rain is 40 percent.

A 30 percent chance of showers and thunderstorms will persist Saturday with a high near 81.

Weather forecasters predict a high of 89 degrees Sunday under mostly sunny skies. The chance of showers and thunderstorms returns for the holiday Monday with a high near 88.

Temperatures will be a bit cooler when the workweek begins Tuesday. The Weather Service predicts a high of 76 under partly sunny skies. The threat of showers and thunderstorms will persist.

Sounds good, but when it's 90 and the grass is burned brown in May it makes you wonder what August will be like, and how it's going to affect the farms and food prices.
