Thunderstorm chances return to Metro Detroit on Friday, and there’s a chance they could become severe.

The outdoor warning sirens, which sound for tornadoes and–in some communities–for particularly strong severe thunderstorms, may motivate you to take shelter. Most severe storms will never prompt a siren, and a normal or baseline severe thunderstorm warning may not elicit the same urgency. This is a mistake that puts people in jeopardy.
