Wednesday thunderstorm Threat in Metro Detroit
Wednesday’s Setup: Ahead of a slow-moving cold front and area of low pressure, Metro Detroit faces rising humidity and atmospheric instability, setting the stage for scattered showers and thunderstorms throughout the day.
In the morning, Southeast Michigan will have a chance of showers. Storms become more widespread during the afternoon and early evening.
All of Southeast Michigan is blanketed under a marginal, or level one of five, risk for severe weather.
Downpours and gusty winds are possible. Isolated hail cannot be ruled out.
Commuting & Travel
- Morning: Light morning showers may leave roads slick.
- Afternoon–Evening: Heavy rain and sudden downpours can reduce visibility and increase hydroplaning danger. Plan extra travel time and slow down during peak storm periods.
Outdoors & Recreation
- Lawn & Yard Care: Hold off on mowing or working outside during storm windows; strong winds and rain could disrupt projects and damage equipment.
- Other Outdoor Plans: Morning activities are more viable. Afternoon gatherings should have backup indoor options, if possible. Be sure to take a poncho or umbrella to the Tigers’ afternoon game.
