Metro Detroit weather: Temps start to rise ahead of a Heat Advisory and 100+ heat index values
Heat turns up a bit before a big spike
The temps will start rising today, but the real blast of summer weather comes tomorrow when heat indices are expected to hit and even exceed 100.
DETROIT (FOX 2) - We’ll turn up the heat a bit today under mostly sunny skies, but the humidity stays in check for now.
Highs climb into the 80s Wednesday before the big heat spike.
Feeling like 100+
High pressure moves out and moisture builds in. By Thursday, it’ll feel much steamier.
A Heat Advisory runs from 11 a.m. to 8 p.m. July 24 as heat index values, the combination of high heat and humidity, push past 100°.
Storm risks
Storms follow the heat. While we stay dry through Thursday morning, a good bet for evening storms rolls in. The severe threat is limited, but a Marginal Risk (1 out of 5) is in place with damaging winds and flooding rain possible.
Temps step down slightly Friday behind the front, but it’ll still feel warm heading into the weekend.
A few storms may pop Friday afternoon, with more wet weather likely Saturday.
