Tens of thousands of metro Detroiters are without power on Wednesday morning, after another round of storms passed over the region during the prior evening.
The outages come on another day that is expected to be hot, with temperatures approaching 90 degrees and high humidity.
At 8 a.m., the company reported about 30,500 homes and businesses without power. Shortly before noon, DTE Energy reported 27,000 remaining outages.
Consumers Energy, which handles electricity delivery in western and northern Michigan, reported 79,000 outages at the height but had restored about half of the customers.
The outages are scattered across the region, including Oakland and Macomb counties as well as in the Downriver area in Wayne County. They also are stretched into the Thumb area and along the Canadian border in New Baltimore and Algonac.
One cluster of outages is in the Waterford and White Lake townships areas, impacting about 5,800 customers.
About 6,000 homes and businesses are without power in southern Macomb County, including in Warren and Mount Clemens.
About 2,500 were out in southeastern Oakland County, many along I-75 near Royal Oak.
Nearly 3,000 lost power in the Downriver communities of Southgate and Lincoln Park.
And more than 3,100 were without electricity in the Dearborn area, but it could be restored by 1 p.m. today.
Most outages did not have a restoration, but 560 DTE Energy crews were in the field at 8 a.m. Wednesday. By 11 a.m., more than 1,200 crews were in the field. One large outage in Rochester Hills, impacting thousands along Tienken Road, has already been restored, according to a review of the DTE Energy outage map.
A heat advisory is in effect until 8 p.m. today with the heat index expected to reach into the upper 90s or up to 100.

Storm clouds in Auburn Hills.“Hot temperatures and high humidity may cause heat illnesses to occur,” the National Weather Service reported. “Drink plenty of fluids, stay in an air-conditioned room, stay out of the sun, and check up on relatives and neighbors. Young children and pets should never be left unattended in vehicles under any circumstances.”
These outages follow several major storms this summer, causing widespread outages. Earlier this month, about a million Michigan residents lost power after three major storms passed by in two days.
