4Warn Weather – A low-pressure system tracking through Michigan will bring rain to the Great Lakes region through Wednesday evening into the late-night hours.
Rain may be heavy at times. Most locations will pick up <1″ to 2″ of rain, but some neighborhoods could see 3″ or more.
Not only is this a lot of rain, but it’s expected to fall over a three- to four-hour period.
This has increased the risk of localized flooding, and a Flood Watch has been issued for all of Southeast Michigan until 4 a.m. Thursday.
The heaviest rain is expected to move through the area between 7 p.m. and midnight.
Those closer to the I-69 corridor and the Bay Region have the best chance to see the most rainfall.
We also have the chance to see a few strong thunderstorms this evening. Storms may have large hail and damaging winds.
Make sure you have a way to get alerts and have the volume up on your phone or weather radio when heading to bed.
The heaviest rain looks to move out by midnight for most of Southeast Michigan. We’ll see spotty light showers into the first part of Thursday before clouds slowly diminish.
Temperatures tonight will fall to near 60°. Southwest winds will pick up to 15-20 mph, gusting into the low 30s.
Thursday will stay windy with West winds steady at 15-20 mph, gusting into the mid 30s at times.
Highs tomorrow afternoon will be cool, only near 70°.
We turn warmer for Friday, Juneteenth, with highs in the low to mid-70s and plenty of sunshine.
