Temperatures will be in the low 70's Saturday under mostly sunny skies, National Weather Service says.
We know it's hard to accurately predict the weather in Michigan, but it looks like the stars are aligning for the 2012 Woodward Dream Cruise. According to the National Weather Service, the high Saturday is expected to reach 72 degrees under mostly sunny skies — perfect cruising weather. Last year, a sudden and severe line of thunderstorms forced Royal Oak police to call off the Woodward Dream Cruise hours early so public safety officers could shift their efforts into the city's trouble spots. In Royal Oak, more than 5,000 households lost power. In total, 60,000 DTE customers throughout Metro Detroit lost power that fateful Dream Cruise Saturday, with dozens of trees and power lines knocked down by 60-mile-per-hour winds. This Saturday, …

The Woodward Dream Cruise is expected to attract 1.5 million people to a 16-mile stretch of the historic avenue this Saturday – with the build-up stretching out for days, weeks and months in advance – creating a nightmare of gridlock and noise that has inspired some residents and businesses along the route to voice their disdain on Facebook. Many of those who take issue with the classic car parade on social media say they soured on the event once it began to affect their qualilty of life beyond just the day of the cruise. The Cruisers Go Home page created by Pleasant Ridge resident Jeanne Ruzzin, for example, had nearly 200 likes Tuesday and lively conversation. Ruzzin said it's not the Dream Cruise that she and her neighbors along the …

They've been out for weeks now, the cruisers and their fans, and the nightly buzz is building ahead of the Woodward Dream Cruise on Aug. 18 – a joyful sound to some and a headache to others. The celebration of Metro Detroit's car culture, which takes place the third Saturday of each August, draws more than 1 million visitors to a 16-mile stretch of the historic avenue from Ferndale to Pontiac. This year's event – the 18th annual cruise – will run between 9 a.m. and 9 p.m. But that hasn't stopped classic car buffs from getting an early start. Public safety officials remind cruisers that they are required to follow normal traffic rules, which means racing and squealing tires and are not permitted. Are you enjoying the sights and sounds of …
