What does the weather look like this week? |
There is still a hot dome of air in the middle U.S. this week. Michigan will be on the edge of this hot dome. At times the heat backs off and some days the hot stuff is going to make a run at us. For temperatures, today will be in the 70s and 80s. By Wednesday and Thursday we'll see high temperatures in the 90s. Finally, the hot dome will slide back to the west and weaken as we head toward the weekend, putting us in a much cooler pattern. The path of Hurricane Hilary’s remnant rain may eventually soak Michigan. The current upper-air flow shows part of the state will end up with rain related to the former hurricane. |

How experienced are the teachers in your school district? |

There's districts where the percentage of teachers with more than 11 years of experience declined between 2018 and 2022 and districts where that percentage grew. See the map here. In case you missed it: Yesterday I shared with you the findings reporters Melissa Frick and Matthew Miller came across when looking into why Michigan’s best teachers are calling it quits. More in public interest: A Michigan township wanted more bike paths, so it required developers to pay. Now it’s being sued. |

Fifteen months out, Trump vs. Biden is again ultra-competitive in Michigan |
In a hypothetical matchup: Former President Donald Trump is nearly even with President Joe Biden heading into Michigan’s next presidential election. That's according to a poll by EPIC-MRA, a Lansing-based nonpartisan firm that surveyed 600 active and likely 2024 voters. Coming to a close: The last of three trials for 14 men accused of plotting to kidnap Michigan Gov. Gretchen Whitmer in order to spark a civil war in 2020 was scheduled to begin with jury selection Monday, Aug. 21.
