White Lake-Highland's Labor Day Weather Forecast: Bring on the Heat

The July-like weather pattern that has settled over the area will continue. Labor Day itself looks to be warm with a high in the upper 80s, according to Accuweather.com.

“When summer started, it was quite moist across much of the Middle Atlantic region, parts of New England, the Ohio Valley and the Great Lakes,” said AccuWeather Chief Meteorologist Elliot Abrams. “Since then, it has dried out considerably and there isn’t a lot of change coming over the next few days.”

If you’re one of those people who got a jump on buttoning things up for the fall and winter by taking out your window air conditioner, you may want to pop it back in. Temperatures should reach into the 80s each day through at least Friday and likely through the weekend, according to the longterm forecast.

Expect high humidity level, too. Heat indices will be in the middle 90s during the afternoons, Accuweather said.

“Those who must endure several hours working in these conditions are advised to stay hydrated and to take breaks in the shade or in an air-conditioned environment,” said AccuWeather Meteorologist Jordan Root.

The hot afternoons will be followed by muggy nights with lows dipping down around 70 degrees.
