Excessive rainfall could cause flooding Monday, Tuesday in Metro Detroit: What to know

Showers begin Monday afternoon

4Warn Weather – Monday morning begins cloudy. Highs will be below average today, in the upper 70s. However, it’ll be paired with higher humidity.

Expect active, wet weather today.

Rain chances will increase later in the afternoon. By 4 p.m. or 5 p.m., rain will creep in and become more widespread in the heart of Metro Detroit. There will be pockets of heavy rain for some throughout the evening.

Widespread rain will continue overnight into Tuesday.

Tonight’s sunset is at 8:36 p.m.

Rain continues Tuesday

Rain will linger into Tuesday morning before pushing out in the afternoon.

Before sunrise, showers might be more scattered but still active, with downpours expected for some. Remnant moisture could carry showers into the early part of Tuesday afternoon.

Localized flooding is a concern amid the excessive rainfall on Monday and Tuesday. It’s projected that our region could see more than an inch of rainfall by Tuesday afternoon.

The heaviest rain bands look to be between the I-69 and I-94 corridors.

Showers should push out around 2 p.m. We’ll have drier conditions with cloudy skies for the rest of the day. Highs will be in the low 70s, about 10 degrees below average. It’ll be breezy.

Mild Wednesday, then more rain

We’ll bounce back to around 80 degrees with sunshine on Wednesday.

Another system will bring us the chance for more showers and storms on Thursday.

Then, we’ll crank up the heat, getting close to 90 degrees this weekend.

Elsewhere ...

Nationally, dangerous heat is expected to continue across parts of the South and Northwest, extending into California. Severe thunderstorms and flash flooding are possible across portions of the Ohio Valley extending to the mid-Atlantic states.
