I don't see DTW getting into the mid-100's. I think even 103 is somewhat of a stretch, given how things have gone so far this year...the NAM showed us getting a few-several degrees hotter on the other two 100 days this year, too, but I would not be surprised at all if we make it to 100 or 101. Anything higher than that would just be crazy, it's surprisingly rare for DTW to get much hotter than that, but I'd be welcoming of a 103 degree reading...it always has fascinated me that we've had so many 102's and a few 104's, but never a 103. :P
