Grand Rapids, MI – A line of weakening storms continues to push through Grand Rapids this morning, bringing threats of small hail, frequent lightning, and heavy downpours. The storms are primarily impacting areas along and north of I-96, with wind gusts reaching up to 30 mph.
According to the National Weather Service in Grand Rapids, these conditions are expected to last until around 7 a.m. Commuters should be prepared for potentially hazardous driving conditions due to ponding on roads and low visibility. If you’re on the road, reduce speed and maintain a safe distance from other vehicles.
Local residents should secure outdoor items and stay indoors during the storm. This weather system is also likely to cause power outages, so keep flashlights and mobile devices charged. The storm is expected to taper off later this morning, but isolated thunderstorms may persist throughout the day.
The public is advised to monitor local news and weather updates for any changes in the forecast or additional warnings.
