Sucks to be in Michigan Working Today

It's days like these that I hate working in a plant, even though I have an AC'ed office I still have to go into the plant. Inside it's usually 10-15 degrees warmer than outside. And as we always say "It's not the heat, it's the humidity stupid"

A heat advisory has been issued for metro Detroit from 2 p.m. to 8 p.m.

Temperatures are expected to reach the mid 90s by 1 p.m., but combined with the humidity, the heat index could climb as high as 105 degrees, according to Local4Caster Eric Wilson.

Thunderstorms are expected to move into the Ann Arbor area between the hours of 2 p.m. and 5 p.m., with the most severe weather occurring between 5 p.m. and 8 p.m.

Wilson said the storms should end by sunset at 9:06 p.m.

Temperatures are expected to cool at that time, with the heat index dropping below 100.

A heat advisory means that the heat index will be 100 to 109 degrees for a period of three hours or more, according to the National Weather Service.
