SOUTHFIELD (WWJ) -- After one hot and stormy day in Metro Detroit, AccuWeather is calling for another.

The Nation Weather Service has issued a Heat Advisory, in effect from noon until 8 p.m. Thursday (6/11) for all of Southeast Michigan, including Macomb, Oakland, Wayne, Washtenaw, Monroe and Lenawee Counties.


NWS warns that it'll be very humid, with heat index values up to 100 expected during the day. Hot temperatures and high humidity may cause heat illnesses.

The forecasted high for Detroit on Thursday is 88.

AccuWeather Meteorologist Heather Zehr said showers and thunderstorms that were expected to hit Metro Detroit Thursday morning largely missed us.

But, as we head into the Thursday night, the Metro Detroit area is likely to see another thunderstorm or two. Heavy rain, hail and damaging winds are all possible.

She said the worst of the weather is most likely to hit during the second half of the night.

AccuWeather says most of Friday will be dry. However, another line of thunderstorms could come through Friday night, and again the risk of severe weather."

That comes will a change in air mass that is expected to cool things down for a day or so.

Friday will be a lot less humid, AccuWeather says, with some sunshine around and a high of 81.

Saturday is looking mostly sunny and and very warm with a high of 85, but again less humid.

There could be a shower or thunderstorm sometime Saturday night into early Sunday, clearing up for a nice day on Sunday with some sunshine and a high of 78.

As a reminder: When it's this hot, it's a good idea to check on your elderly loved ones and neighbors. It's also extremely important not leave young children and pets in unattended vehicles. Car interiors can and will reach lethal temperatures in a matter of minutes.
