Detroit – Southeastern Michigan is preparing for significant rainfall as remnants of Tropical Storm Beryl are expected to hit the region midweek.
According to the US National Weather Service, excessive rainfall is anticipated from Tuesday night through Wednesday night, with potential rainfall totals ranging from 1 to 3 inches.

Residents in these areas should remain vigilant for potential flooding and hazardous conditions on the roads.
The Weather Service has issued a Slight Risk of Excessive Rainfall for the region, underscoring the potential for localized flooding. While exact flooding locations remain uncertain due to the variability in Beryl’s track, current forecasts highlight areas from southern Michigan down to the northern Ohio River Valley. In preparation, residents are advised to monitor local weather updates and be ready for possible disruptions.
In addition to flooding concerns, the warm and humid conditions prevailing in the area will bring scattered thunderstorms today and tomorrow. These thunderstorms are most likely to occur north of I-94, adding to the potential weather hazards. Motorists should exercise caution and plan for potential delays, particularly during periods of heavy rain.
