Heat advisories are expected to remain in effect through at least Tuesday, although the worst of this wave may be behind us.

Temperatures at the Ann Arbor Municipal Airport peaked at 104 degrees just before 5 p.m. Sunday. The temperature hit 99 just before noon and stayed above 100 until about 7 p.m.

The National Weather Service heat advisory is in effect until 8 p.m., Tuesday. High temperatures and humidity may cause heat illnesses.

On Monday, the temperature is expected to reach 94°F by 1 p.m. and rise as high as 96°F from 3-6 p.m. A high of 93 is forecast for Tuesday with a chance of rain/storms.

PRECAUTIONARY/PREPAREDNESS ACTIONS... 

(From the heat advisory)

  • Drink plenty of fluids, stay in an air-conditioned room, stay out of
    the sun, and check up on relatives and neighbors. 
  • Do not leave young children and pets in unattended vehicles. Car
    interiors will reach lethal temperatures in a matter of minutes.

    or evening. Take action when you see symptoms of heat exhaustion and
    heat stroke.
