While most of Southeast Michigan will remain dry, a few showers and non-severe thunderstorms could develop this afternoon, mainly along and south of I-94, especially closer to the Ohio state line. Although widespread severe weather is not expected, a few of the stronger storms could produce localized wind gusts of 40 to 60 mph and small hail before weakening later in the day. For the majority of Metro Detroit, today will feature pleasant summer conditions with a mix of sunshine and clouds.
