The National Weather Service is warning residents across west-central Michigan about this week’s extreme heat.

Peak heat indices are expected to reach the mid- to upper 90s from Monday through Wednesday, with humidity pushing feels-like temperatures potentially above 100 degrees.

As of early Monday morning, all local counties have been placed into a Heat Advisory for Tuesday, July 14, from 12 p.m. to 8 p.m.

“Drink plenty of fluids, stay in an air-conditioned room, stay out of the sun and check on relatives and neighbors,” the National Weather Service in Grand Rapids said in an alert. “Do not leave young children and pets in unattended vehicles. Car interiors can reach lethal temperatures in a matter of minutes.”

Current forecasts remain uncertain, but people should make backup plans for outdoor activities. Follow the Big Rapids Daily News for severe weather alerts on Facebook, Instagram and X.
