DETROIT – There are storm chances five of the next six days in Metro Detroit, and we’ve got a look at some of the early timing and when the risks are greatest.
Temperatures are expected to get into at least the 70s every day this week, but that comes with storm threats every day except for Friday.
Keep in mind that forecast details for later in the week are still several days out and could change. We will continue to update the forecast as models evolve.
Monday
We’re under a marginal (level 1 of 5) risk for severe weather on Monday.
We’re expecting conditions to be dry during most of the daylight hours, but there’s a chance for showers after sunset.
Models are currently downplaying the strength of the overnight storms.
There are two windows for possible rain or storms. The first is in the southern parts of Southeast Michigan, primary south of I-94. That window is from 8 p.m. to midnight.
Tuesday
The second window of severe weather will be after 2 a.m. and until 9 a.m. Tuesday. All of Southeast Michigan is under a marginal risk of severe weather, with wind and hail as the primary threats.
The window for the greatest risk begins at 8 p.m. Tuesday and lasts overnight into Wednesday morning.
Rain, damaging winds, hail, and even an isolated tornado are possible threats during this window.
Wednesday
The full window for the slight (level 2 of 5) risk is from 8 p.m. Tuesday to around 8 a.m. Wednesday. So it could affect the morning commute.
After this window, the rest of Wednesday comes with a marginal (level 1 of 5) risk of severe weather. This comes with a risk of excessive rain and flodding.
Thursday
There’s some storm risk on Thursday, with more scattered showers expected.
We aren’t expecting severe weather on Friday.
Saturday
Storm chances return on Saturday. We’ll continue to monitor that as the week goes on.
While there are storm chances almost every day this week, we aren’t expecting all-day washouts. Most days will have windows of nice weather followed by mostly late-evening to early morning storm chances.
