Southeast Michigan is expected to see extreme heat and humidity on Tuesday, July 29, with dangerously high feel-like temperatures of up to 101 degrees.
A Heat Advisory is still in force for communities including Detroit, Flint, Saginaw, Ann Arbor, Monroe, and Pontiac Tuesday from 10 a.m. to 10 p.m., according to the Detroit/Pontiac National Weather Service. The combination of oppressive humidity and temperatures in the mid-90s may make outdoor conditions dangerous, particularly in the late morning and afternoon.
Drivers may anticipate slower traffic and warmer cars along I-75, I-94, and other key thoroughfares. Residents are advised to seek shade, stay hydrated, and refrain from physically demanding activities during the daytime hours. Children, pets, and the elderly are among the vulnerable categories who are more likely to suffer from heat-related illnesses. People and pets should never be left in parked cars because the temperature inside might rise quickly.
With a 30–40% chance of rain into Tuesday night, scattered thunderstorms could form late Tuesday, providing a temporary reprieve from the heat.
