4Warn Weather – The National Weather Service has issued a flood warning for Wayne County until 2:24 a.m. Saturday and a thunderstorm watch for several counties in Southeast Michigan until 1 a.m.
The thunderstorm watch will be in effect for Genesee, Lapeer, Lenawee, Livingston, Macomb, Monroe, Oakland, Sanilac, St. Clair Washtenaw and Wayne counties until 1 a.m. Friday (Aug. 25).
Supercell thunderstorms will rapidly develop and move through parts of Metro Detroit between 7 p.m. and 12 a.m.
There is plenty of instability, with some late-day sunshine and rising humidity; some storms could contain wind gusts up to 70 mph with large hail.
An isolated tornado is also possible Thursday evening into Friday morning.
Although most storms will be fast-moving, there is enough moisture to drop some fairly heavy rain on top of an already saturated ground, likely leading to more flooding on both the roads and perhaps into people’s basements.
