Detroit, Michigan – Scattered thunderstorms could drench parts of southeast Michigan starting Tuesday afternoon and continuing off and on through Friday, raising concerns over localized flooding and travel delays across the Detroit metro.
According to the National Weather Service in Detroit/Pontiac, today will remain mostly sunny with increasing high cloud cover. However, a wetter pattern sets in by tonight, with storm chances building across Wayne, Washtenaw, Oakland, and Macomb counties. Daily highs will stay well above seasonal averages, ranging from the mid-70s to low 80s through Friday.
Tuesday and Thursday bring the highest chances for thunderstorms, especially during the afternoon and evening hours. Some storms could produce heavy downpours and gusty winds, particularly near interstates like I-94 and I-75. Wednesday may bring more isolated rain, while Friday ends the workweek with a renewed chance for showers.
Motorists should watch for slick roads and reduced visibility during peak travel periods. Residents are encouraged to secure outdoor items, monitor weather apps for alerts, and avoid flooded roadways. Power outages may also be possible during stronger storms.
This active pattern is expected to continue into the weekend, with updated alerts likely if storm strength increases.
