It’s double trouble for Metro Detroit on this Wednesday. Happy Hump Day! The best part of our day will be the morning hours, the best and safest for any kind of working out or working outside. Temperatures are in the middle 60s to near 70 degrees as you hit the road with dry conditions throughout the morning across SE Lower Michigan and Southern Ontario. Now, it’s time to talk about that trouble coming our way.

Strong to severe thunderstorms are moving through southeast Michigan this afternoon, and with these a severe thunderstorm watch is in effect for all of southeast Michigan until 8pm this evening.

If you step outside early today, you know that we are not yet over the hump of heat here in Metro Detroit.

Here is the weather forecast for Metro Detroit.

Welcome to Monday night, Motown.

While most of us won’t have the white Christmas we want, I always say that if it’s not going to be white, it might as well be warm. And warm it is -- some parts of the area have already hit 50 degrees (10 degrees Celsius) this afternoon.

Welcome to Monday night, Motown.

The lake effect snow from this afternoon and evening is gradually fading. As skies clear it becomes much colder overnight.

Welcome to Thursday, Motown.

Heat indices are sky high again Thursday afternoon. Isolated showers and storms are popping in a few areas now, then a few more before the sun sets.

Sunday evening and tonight we get just what we need -- a well-deserved break from stormy weather and high humidity.

A Flash Flood Warning is in effect for central and southern Oakland County until 12:45 a.m. ET, Sunday.

DETROIT – Our rainfall deficit is getting worse across southeast Michigan, but the weekend opportunities to get wet are looking better. The good news is areas that are in a moderate drought didn’t get any worse. We’re fairly confident that the higher rainfall totals will be in the South Zone and up the east side. Here’s some bonus good news: some models are suggesting we may keep rain chances around into Tuesday as well! Believe it or not, we could actually have more than one day next week with highs below 80!
