Detroit, MI – Southeastern Michigan residents should brace for a wet start to the week as showers and thunderstorms are expected Tuesday. The rain could make for hazardous driving conditions along I-94, I-75, and I-96 during both the morning and afternoon commutes. Drivers are urged to allow extra travel time and ensure windshield wipers and brakes are in top condition.
According to the U.S. National Weather Service, a warm front lifting into the region Monday night is bringing the likelihood of storms on Tuesday. Temperatures will remain in the low 70s with wind gusts of up to 18 mph. Rain may ease by Wednesday, but cloudy conditions will linger before sunshine returns on Thursday.
The National Weather Service advises staying informed on updates, especially for severe weather alerts. If thunderstorms develop, avoid flooded roads and stay indoors when possible. As conditions improve by mid-week, expect drier, milder weather through Thursday with highs in the mid-70s, providing a break before potential weekend showers.
