Summer ends on Tuesday, but you can't tell from the metro Detroit forecast.
On its Facebook page, the National Weather Service predicts southeast Michigan's next few days will be dry and sunny.
However, there will also be "residual wildfire smoke from western states" that will "produce more of a 'hazy sunshine' later in the day Monday and Tuesday."
The predicted forecast:
The dry, warm trend will continue for the rest of the week.

Dave Kook, a NWS meteorologist, says the forecast this week hovers around 5 degrees above the normal temperature this time of the year. The usual temperature is 72.
The warm up will last through Saturday, which will also be warm and dry, with temperatures around 80 degrees. The next cold front hits the state on Sunday, where the temperature may drop into the mid-60s. Sunday will be Michigan's first chance of precipitation in a while.
Kook says the wildfires' smoke is too high to affect air quality in Michigan, but if it is thick enough, it can make temperatures drop. The smoke has not been that thick yet.
