A quick check-in on our next five days of temperatures vs the heat index, taken in the Lansing region as a centralized location.
Red is air temperatures, while pink is the feels-like temperatures that us as humans are susceptible to, similar to the wind chills during the winter months. Between now and Thursday, check up on your loved ones, pets, and even yourself. Healthy individuals can often be dealt a lifetime of heat-related illnesses after scoffing at the heat index and not properly hydrating throughout a warm spell. Take care of each other. A couple locations primarily along and south of US-10 may see isolated heat index readings of near 105, depending on cloud cover from any nearby thunderstorms.
We will begin releasing heat index maps for the middle of the week starting tomorrow to give you all a better idea of what it will "feel like" across the mitten.
