Detroit, MI – A flood watch is in effect for parts of Southeast Michigan, including Metro Detroit, Ann Arbor, and surrounding areas, from 8 p.m. tonight until 8 a.m. Thursday. The National Weather Service warns of 1.5 to 2 inches of rain due to several rounds of heavy showers and thunderstorms. Localized heavier rainfall amounts may occur if repeated storms impact specific locations.
According to the National Weather Service, the primary concern is excessive runoff, which could lead to flooding in rivers, creeks, streams, and low-lying urban areas. Flooding is most likely in areas with poor drainage or those near flood-prone locations.
Residents are advised to stay alert and monitor updated forecasts. Flooding may develop quickly, and emergency preparedness is recommended for those in flood-prone areas, particularly in the Metro Detroit area and nearby cities like Ann Arbor and Port Huron.
