Earlier rainfall has saturated the ground in many spots, so it won't take much to knock over trees and power lines with even moderately strong storms. The strongest storms will move through after sunset and may stretch through daybreak Thursday. Have a way to stay alert throughout the night.
Here are the latest watches, warnings and advisories from the National Weather Service:
- All Metro Detroit counties are under a Flood Watch through Thursday morning. Rainfall rates of 1 to 2 inches per hour are likely within the stronger thunderstorm activity. Heavy rainfall may cause flash flooding issues within low-lying areas, river and stream basins, and in urban areas.
