(CBS DETROIT) – Tuesday and Wednesday this week have the potential to be quite active in Southeast Michigan with both high temperatures and a risk of severe storms.
Heat advisories have been issued for Macomb, Oakland, Livingston, Wayne, Washtenaw, Monroe and Lenawee counties from 10 a.m. through 10 p.m. Tuesday.
Heat indices are expected to climb to the 100-plus degree mark in the afternoon as highs climb into the 90s. This heat and the approaching system to our west will allow us to build unstable air throughout the day.
This instability will also be partially trapped by what we call a “cap,” which could be thought of as a lid on a pot of boiling water.
Normally, as air rises into the atmosphere, it cools down, but sometimes a layer of warm air exists that traps that heat and moisture beneath it. This is that lid on our “pot.” If the cap is broken or eroded, all the heat and moisture trapped beneath it will be released and allow storms to build rapidly.
If this doesn’t occur, then our storm risk drops dramatically.
Because of the potential, the Storm Prediction Center has Southeast Michigan at a slight risk for severe storms, or a chance for scattered strong storms if any should occur.
This risk also exists on Wednesday for Southeast Michigan.
Our primary hazards are damaging wind gusts, hail, localized flooding and an isolated risk of a tornado should a storm form just right.
The NEXT Weather Team has labeled Tuesday as a NEXT Weather Alert Day because of these risks.
A NEXT Weather Alert Day is specifically for days that are hazardous for different reasons. It also means we will be doubled up for the crew in the weather center, increased coverage capacity and immediacy for weather in our shows, and immediate clearance for online and TV break-ins if we need to.
The team will continue to monitor our risks and keep you updated as the latest information comes in.

Detroit Tigers Rookie Trio Have Huge Games in Snapshot of Team’s Future
![Detroit Tigers Rookie Trio Have Huge Games in Snapshot of Team’s Future Detroit Tigers Rookie Trio Have Huge Games in Snapshot of Team’s Future](https://images2.minutemediacdn.com/image/upload/c_crop,w_3848,h_2164,x_0,y_214/c_fill,w_1440,ar_16:9,f_auto,q_auto,g_auto/images/ImagnImages/mmsport/tigers_baseball_report/01j65xd45y6g81j2238a.jpg)
The Detroit Tigers have turned their focus to the future by calling up multiple top prospects, and they finally had a game where a couple of their rookies stood out.
The Tigers offense carried the team to a 9-4 victory over the Chicago White Sox on Sunday afternoon. Though they weren’t the only players to have a nice day, the rookie trio of Colt Keith, Jace Jung and Trey Sweeney all had at least two hits.
Keith, who has stuck around the MLB roster all season had the best day.
He put together a three-hit performance with three RBI and a double.

The 23-year-old’s slash line is up to .264/.316/.398. He’s considered a major part of the team’s future, ranking as the No. 4 prospect in their farm system last year.
His season had reached some intense lows to start, but he’s responded well to turn things around.
Keith was red hot entering the day, with a .342/.357/.463 slash line over his last 10 games. While he hasn’t displayed the power they may have hoped for, his past few weeks have still shown a better ability to get the bat on the ball.
Jung, who has only been in the big leagues since Aug. 16, has had an interesting first two weeks. He got off to a nice start, but has slowed down over his last couple of games before Sunday.
A 2-for-5 night with an RBI has his slash line up to .226/.333/.258. He has been struggling to get more than a single, but getting hits is still a good sign. His only extra-base hit so far has been a double he hit in the first game of this series.
Sweeney also went 2-for-5 at the plate with an RBI and had a nice double.

Detroit acquired the shortstop less than a month ago as a part of the package they got from the Los Angeles Dodgers in exchange for Jack Flaherty.
He got called up at the same time as Jung but was alternating days with Javier Baez.
With Baez out for an indefinite time, it looks like Sweeney will be able to show what he can do as the team’s starter. With his nice day on Sunday, his slash line is now .211/.211/.421.
Though the players are still improving, a day like this serves as a nice reminder of what the future could look like for this rebuilding team.

White Sox 2nd fastest in MLB to lose 100 games
![White Sox 2nd fastest in MLB to lose 100 games White Sox 2nd fastest in MLB to lose 100 games](https://a1.espncdn.com/combiner/i?img=%2Fphoto%2F2024%2F0825%2Fr1377668_1296x729_16%2D9.jpg)
CHICAGO — Andy Ibanez homered and had three RBIs as the Detroit Tigers sent the Chicago White Sox to their 100th loss with a 9-4 victory on Sunday.
Andrew Vaughn doubled, homered and had two RBIs for the White Sox (31-100), who need to go 12-19 to avoid tying the 1962 New York Mets, who were 40-120-1, for the modern major league record for most losses in a season. Chicago will fall short of the all-time record held by the Cleveland Spiders, who finished 20-134 in 1899.
In MLB history, only the 1916 Philadelphia A’s, who were 29-100-1, reached 100 losses in fewer games than the White Sox.
“We have been talking about it all year. It’s beating a dead horse at this point. We are not where we want to be,” White Sox outfielder Andrew Benintendi said. “[Interim manager Grady Sizemore] said it best: ‘Unless you win the last game of the year, it doesn’t matter.’ So, I think everyone has moved on.”
Colt Keith had three hits and three RBIs for the Tigers (65-66), who have won four of five. The two teams will conclude their four-game series Monday.
Chicago has lost 100 or more games six times in franchise history and in consecutive seasons for the first time. They went 61-101 last season under manager Pedro Grifol, who was fired Aug. 8. Chicago is 3-11 under Sizemore.
“We know where we are at,” Benintendi said. “We know it’s not good.”
The White Sox dropped a club-worst 106 games in 1970. Their worst winning percentage is .325, when they went 49-102-1 in 1932.
Bryan Sammons (1-1) allowed a run and three hits in 4⅓ innings for Detroit to earn the victory.
“It wasn’t the most efficient day on the mound,” Tigers manager A.J. Hinch said. “But offensively, we did a lot of really positive things.”
Starter Jonathan Cannon (2-8) gave up five runs and eight hits in four innings for the White Sox.
“Obviously, no one wants to lose 100 games, especially with still a month to go,” Cannon said. “But we’re going to keep coming here every day, getting our work in and keep just going out there and trying to win some ball games.”
Benintendi and Vaughn hit back-to-back doubles off opener Beau Brieske to put the White Sox ahead 2-0 in the first.
Detroit’s Kerry Carpenter doubled, reached third on center fielder Dominic Fletcher’s fielding error and scored on Keith’s single to cut the lead to 2-1 in the third. Chicago had four errors.
Vaughn hit his 15th homer, a solo shot, off Sammons in the third to increase Chicago’s lead to 3-1.
Zach McKinstry singled, stole second and scored on Parker Meadows’ triple to make it 3-2 in the fourth.
The Tigers scored three runs in the fifth to take a 5-3 lead. Carpenter, Keith and Jace Jung hit consecutive singles to tie it before pinch hitter Ibanez grounded into a fielder’s choice and Trey Sweeney singled to bring in the other runs.
“In every inning, you give yourself a puncher’s chance when you are creating opportunities for yourselves,” Hinch said. “That’s what you have to hang your hats on, and just keep grinding.”
Ibanez hit a two-run homer off Enyel De Los Santos in the seventh and Keith added a two-run double in the eighth.
“Everyone in that locker room is aware of the record and how frustrating it is, absolutely,” Sizemore said.
