Detroit, Mich. – Thunderstorms are expected to roll into metro Detroit tonight, bringing heavy rain and gusty winds that could slow traffic and flood low-lying streets. The National Weather Service says the strongest storms may develop after 11 p.m., with a 90% chance of rain and potential for localized downpours.
According to the National Weather Service in White Lake, showers will linger into Monday with southwest winds gusting up to 18 mph. Rainfall totals may reach a quarter of an inch, though thunderstorms could produce heavier pockets. Commuters should be prepared for slick roads during the Monday morning drive.
Showers remain possible Tuesday and Wednesday, with skies staying mostly cloudy and highs in the mid-70s. Intermittent breaks in rainfall are expected, but no prolonged dry stretch is forecast until late week. Southeast Michigan residents should plan for wet commutes, damp fields, and occasional outdoor disruptions through Thursday.
Drivers are urged to slow down during downpours, and residents in flood-prone areas should keep an eye on drainage systems. The unsettled weather pattern will persist until at least Thursday, when another round of showers is possible.
