Slight risk for severe weather Wednesday

DETROIT – Today is one of those days we all need to prepare for because more heavy rain is slowly on its way here . We are under a slight risk for severe weather this afternoon but the rain could begin as early as 11 a.m. or noon.

Highs could reach the upper 70s to near 80 degrees before the wet weather arrives. Warm winds will be blowing SE 5-15 mph this morning and SW 10-20 at times this afternoon.

A line of potentially strong storms bring the possibility of gusty and damaging winds, a few cold air funnels, large hail, and isolated tornadoes. The greatest risks are for damaging winds and local flash flooding.

Keep your eyes to the skies after 1 or 2 p.m. for the start of the storms. And those storms may be stalling out and/or moving very slowly through the area exiting by 7 or 8 p.m. this evening.

Temps cool later in the week down into the 60s. Get your complete 7 Day forecast on ClickOnDetroit.com and on the Weather links:
