Beat The Heat At Metro Detroit Cooling Centers

DETROIT (WWJ) - A Excessive Heat Warning is in effect in Southeast Michigan through Tuesday night as high temperatures are expected to reach the upper 90s to around 100 degrees.

When temperatures rise above 90 degrees, everyone is at risk, but health officials say the elderly and the very young are most susceptible to heat and heat-related illness. Signs of heat-related illness include headache, dizziness, nausea, heavy sweating, confusion and pale or flushed skin. (Get hot weather tips here).
