4Warn Weather – The latest update from the SPC hasn’t changed our marginal and slight risks (levels 1 & 2/5), but the enhanced risk (level 3/5) has now moved into SW Michigan, including part of Hillsdale County (next to Lenawee).

Updated screenshot is below. The 5% tornado risk area has now pushed slightly north to include southwestern Washtenaw County and about 2/3 of Monroe County, with the 10% area now coinciding with the enhanced risk, basically all of that info to say our southernmost counties have seen a slight uptick in severe weather chances.

Main time frame: 10 p.m. to 7 a.m.

Damaging winds, large hail, heavy rain, and isolated tornadoes are possible.

The highest risk for tornadoes looks to be along and south of I-94.

To the north, the Bay Region and northern Thumb are looking at freezing rain, still up to 0.1″ of ice possible there.

Temps are well past guidance in the low 70s near the I-94 corridor and southward.

Our northernmost communities are near 40 degrees, with huge spreads thanks to the warm front.

We’ll continue to see that temp divide tonight with low 30s north to mid 40s south.

Rainy into midday Wednesday with 1-2″ of rain possible by then.

We could see a scattered wintry mix on Wednesday night.

We turn colder to end the week with a mix and snow possible Friday.
