4Warn Weather – We begin with a mild and muggy morning once again under mostly cloudy skies with temperatures around 70 degrees.
We’ll warm up again on this Wednesday, topping out in the mid-80s early this afternoon ahead of a cold front.
That cold front that will trigger showers and storms today. Thunderstorms associated with marginally severe winds and lightning will be possible this afternoon and evening throughout Southeast Michigan.
We could see a passing shower midday Wednesday, but stronger thunderstorms are more possible after 3 p.m. An isolated severe storm will be possible between 6 p.m. and midnight.
These storms are expected to move southwest to east at 25-30 mph, with damaging wind gusts up to 60 mph. Strong winds will be the biggest threat during any storms.
We could still see some isolated hail and isolated downpours that lead to localized flooding, but those threats aren’t as strong.
Tonight’s sunset is at 7:59 p.m.
Storms should push out by midnight. We’ll briefly dry out before rain chances return Thursday.
More rain Thursday
Unstable weather will remain Thursday.
A passing shower is possible in the morning, but there are stronger chances for an isolated afternoon shower, so have the umbrella nearby.
We will get relief from the heat, though, as highs drop into the 70s on Thursday and through the weekend.
We may see some isolated showers in the peak heat of the afternoon on Friday, as well.
Humidity will begin to subside this weekend.
Elsewhere ...
Nationally, a heat wave will persist in the Mid-Atlantic and Northeast through Thursday and linger all week in portions of the South. Tropical Storm Lee is forecast to become a major hurricane over the weekend and could bring impacts to the Leeward Islands by late weekend into Monday.
