Strong to severe thunderstorms are moving through southeast Michigan this afternoon, and with these a severe thunderstorm watch is in effect for all of southeast Michigan until 8pm this evening.

Scattered strong-to-severe thunderstorms have developed south of a warm front this afternoon in Indiana and Ohio, and they’re headed our way. The key to those storms maintaining their severity as they move into Michigan will be how far north that warm front makes it because we will not see severe weather north of the front. Right now, I think the front will potentially cross the state line into Lenawee and southwest Monroe counties, so that’s where the best chance is for marginally severe wind gusts and marginally severe hail into the evening hours.

A severe thunderstorm watch has been issued for Lenawee County.

A Severe Thunderstorm Watch is in effect for Genesee, Lapeer, Livingston, Macomb, Oakland, Sanilac, St. Clair, Washtenaw and Wayne counties until 10 p.m. ET.
