Shower chances today
Morning cluster of showers are out of the area, but there are still a few showers.
Chances will stick with us most of today, but we’re not expecting anything widespread, nor anything severe.
Showers/storms Saturday
Storm Prediction Center has upgraded the risk for tomorrow -- we’re now under a Slight Risk for severe weather. (Level 2 of 5).
Potentially three rounds, but the afternoon round is what concerns us most.
Round 1: In the morning a warm front moves through the area west to east. This will trigger a few showers/storms. Most of this action will be to our east, but those at I-75 and east are in the best area to see these.
Round 2: Showers and storms COULD develop to our northwest and move into SE MI. Confidence with this round is growing, but still not a certainty. IF this round does develop, this will be our biggest threat for strong to severe storms.
Round 3: A weak line of showers, maybe a few storms will try to move through closer to midnight. This round is very dependent on Round 2. (If Round 2 doesn’t happen, Round 3 will be stronger).
The biggest threat Saturday will be strong damaging winds. Flooding may again be a concern along with hail.
Heat returning
Highs get back to near 90 degrees Sunday through Tuesday.
Humidity also starts to rise for the middle of next week after a break Sunday and Monday.
