Second round of storms could be severe in Metro Detroit: What to expect and when

Thunderstorm chances move in Tuesday morning

4WARN WEATHER – A heat advisory is in effect until 10PM today for most of Southeast Michigan for heat indices around 100 degrees.

Actual temperatures were expected to climb into the low to mid-90s, the earlier rain and lingering clouds have had temperatures under achieving a bit this morning, but if some sunshine can work its way in now that this first round of showers and storms has pushed out, we should see a decent rise in temperatures throughout the afternoon.

There is a slight risk (level 2 out of 5) for severe weather later this afternoon and evening. Confidence remains low regarding timing and evolution of any thunderstorm development this afternoon and evening, as there will be multiple factors for possible thunderstorm development.

The overall timeframe is generally 2PM to Midnight, but model data has a better grasp of these developing after sunset. Any storms observed may become strong to severe, with damaging wind gusts and hail to an inch or greater as the main severe weather threats.

An isolated tornado cannot be ruled out.

SUNSET: 8:15 PM

Meanwhile, expect temperatures to stay in the low 90s through Wednesday. Shower and thunderstorm chances will continue on Wednesday before surface high pressure builds into the region for the end of the work week.
