Severe storm risk Thursday in Metro Detroit: What to know

Wind, isolated tornado possible

DETROIT – Metro Detroit is in a Slight Risk for Severe Weather this afternoon and evening so keep an eye to the sky and know our Local4Casters app has interactive radar and storm updates for you as you head out.

Highs are trying to soar into the 60s with gusty winds SSW 10-30 mph through the rest of the day.

Showers are moving in this early afternoon which could keep temps down and limit severe storm potential. But some areas won't see much as the temps warm, so beware of storms capable of lots of lightning, damaging winds, and isolated tornadoes.

We will keep you updated as we move closer to severe potential, but most of the nasty storms shouldn't fire up until after 3 or 4pm. Storm chances will linger into the evening too.

Friday and weekend

Temps tumble tomorrow with a cold front moving through. It's mainly 50s overnight, and 40s most of Friday morning with windy conditions again all day. We will see some rain and snow showers move in by mid afternoon. Some of us could see a decent hour of snow but it will struggle to stick.

The St. Patrick's Day weekend is cool with 20s to mid 30s Saturday under partly sunny skies and still a bit breezy. St. Patrick's Day Sunday will be brighter but not much warmer.
