HEARING GOING ON. SO THAT MAY
CHANGE. BUT AS OF RIGHT NOW, WE
KNOW THAT THAT PAYMENT OF $1

WASHINGTON, BREE JACKSON, NBC
NEWS.
>> OKAY, BREE, POPE FRANCIS WAS
IN THE HOSPITAL BRIEFLY THIS
MORNING FOR TESTS AND IS NOW
BACK AT THE VATICAN IN THE 86
YEAR OLD PONTIFF SPENT THREE
DAYS AT THAT SAME HOSPITAL FOR
BRONCHITIS BACK IN MARCH, HE WAS
PUT ON ANTIBIOTICS FOR THAT. THE
VATICAN NOT SAYING WHAT THESE
TESTS WERE FOR TODAY. ANOTHER
HAZY AFTERNOON APPEARING ACROSS
METRO DETROIT COULD SEE A THICK
LAYER FROM OUR SOUTHFIELD CAMERA
THERE ACROSS THE COUNTRY, 73
MILLION AMERICANS ARE UNDER AIR
QUALITY ALERTS TODAY. THIS IS A
LOOK AT THE HAZE IN NEW YORK
CITY THIS MORNING. THE NATIONAL
WEATHER SERVICE SAYS IT’S IN
PART BEING CAUSED BY THE
DRIFTING SMOKE FROM THOSE
WILDFIRES BURNING IN CANADA.
FOREWARN METEOROLOGIST BRIAN
SHERMAN IN FOR ASHLEY TODAY. AS
WE DEAL WITH OUR OWN WILDFIRES
THROUGHOUT MICHIGAN AND OUR OWN
DANA AIR ALERTS BRIAN. YEAH,
THAT’S RIGHT, JASON. ESPECIALLY
NOT ONLY TODAY BUT FOR AT LEAST
THE NEXT FEW DAYS, THERE IS
GOING TO BE AN ELEVATED FIRE
WEATHER RISK ACROSS SOUTHEASTERN
MICHIGAN.
>> SO MUCH SO THE STORM
PREDICTION CENTER HAS PLACED ALL
OF SOUTHEASTERN MICHIGAN UNDER
THAT ELEVATED RISK WITH THE
COMBINATION OF THE DRY GROUND,
THE LOW RELATIVE HUMIDITY AND
GUSTY WINDS. ANY FIRE THAT DOES
START COULD GET OUT OF CONTROL
VERY QUICKLY UNTIL WE GET SOME
RAIN MOVING INTO THE REGION.
WE’RE GOING TO COMBINE THAT WITH
WHAT YOU JUST SAW THERE, THAT
SMOKE FROM THOSE CANADIAN
WILDFIRES IS GIVING US THAT HAZY
GLOW OUTSIDE THROUGHOUT THE
ENTIRE DAY TODAY, THE DRY
WEATHER CONTINUES FOR THE
MAJORITY OF THE WEEK BEFORE WE
DO BRING IN RAIN CHANCES. BACK
TO THE FORECAST LOOKING AHEAD
INTO THE UPCOMING WEEKEND TOWER
CAM OVER DOWNTOWN DETROIT. WE’VE
KEPT A LITTLE BIT OF CLOUD COVER
AND THAT HAZE WITH 60S AND 70S
ACROSS THE BOARD. 72 RIGHT NOW
HERE IN DETROIT, 68 OVER IN
HOWELL, 66 WORKING INTO PONTIAC
AND A WARMER 77 RIGHT NOW
WORKING INTO ADRIAN. THE CLOUD
COVER FROM THE COLD FRONT STILL
MOVING FROM THE NORTH TO THE
SOUTH, HEADING INTO LUNCHTIME.
SO WE WILL KEEP SOME FILTERED
SUNSHINE INTO THE FORECAST
THROUGH THE REST OF THE DAY.
HIGH TEMPERATURES NEAR 80
DEGREES BY LATE THIS AFTERNOON.
MUCH MORE ON THE FIRE DANGER AND
RAIN THAT’S ON THE WAY. YOUR
