4Warn Weather - A system moving through the Great Lakes region will bring two main chances for strong storms in Southeast Michigan - Monday night and later Tuesday.
Most of Monday will be dry with some sun through the clouds. It’ll be warm with afternoon highs in the mid 60s.
As a warm front moves northward, southwest winds will keep us warm Monday night. Temperatures will only fall to the mid and upper 50s overnight before reaching the low 70s Tuesday afternoon.
This front will also bring the chance for rain and possible thunderstorms Monday night. The Storm Prediction Center currently has Southeast Michigan under a Marginal Risk, or level one out of five, for this first round.
This is a low risk for severe weather, but it’s still there, so make sure to have your phone apps and weather radios set to alert you if need be.
The chance for strong storms then increases just a bit for Tuesday.
The Storm Prediction Center has issued a Slight Risk, or level two out of five, for strong storms that could form Tuesday afternoon and evening.
This second round of potentially strong thunderstorms would develop as the cold front moves through Southeast Michigan. This will be dependent on where our system and fronts are located and how much cloud cover/rain we see earlier Tuesday. The 4Warn Weather team will continue to keep you updated as details become clearer.
Currently, the main threats with any of these storms look to be large hail and damaging winds.
On the backside of the cold front, temperatures Wednesday and Thursday will be much cooler with highs near 50 degrees.
We’re back to around 60° Friday and the mid 60s Saturday.
Rain chances will be in the forecast each day through the end of the week.
