Detroit, MI – Southeastern Michigan is under a marginal risk for severe thunderstorms beginning tonight and extending into Tuesday. The National Weather Service Detroit/Pontiac issued a warning for potential damaging winds and large hail as an organized line of storms moves from southern Wisconsin across lower Michigan.
According to the National Weather Service, the most likely timing for severe weather is between midnight and 6 a.m. on Tuesday. Wind gusts near 60 mph are the primary concern, though isolated storms may produce large hail and heavy rainfall, leading to localized flooding. Residents are advised to stay updated on the latest forecast and have multiple ways to receive warnings.
Today’s high temperatures will reach the upper 80s with showers and thunderstorms expected in the morning and evening. By Tuesday, a cold front will move through, bringing additional storms and dropping temperatures to the low/mid 80s during the day and low 60s at night.
The rest of the week will see a significant cooldown with highs in the 70s and lows in the 50s, offering relief from the recent heat. However, the region should remain vigilant for severe weather tonight and into Tuesday as conditions may rapidly change.
