"Severe storms worsen hazardous air quality in Metro Detroit"

Rain and potentially severe storms are expected to arrive in Metro Detroit on Thursday evening, while poor air quality caused by lingering wildfire smoke prompts an air quality alert for the region. The air quality is deemed "unhealthy for sensitive groups" and could be "very unhealthy" at times. People with underlying respiratory conditions are advised to limit outdoor exposure and wear masks if necessary. The rain chances continue into the weekend, with spotty showers and thunderstorms expected on Friday. Air quality is expected to improve by Saturday and Sunday.
