Beware of ponding on Metro Detroit roads as heavy rain continues

Published July 16, 2024 6:20 AM EDT

The severe thunderstorm threat has ended, but heavy rain continues to fall in Metro Detroit on Tuesday morning.

During overnight storms, 1 ½ to 2 ½ inches of rain fell. The heavy rain will taper off as the morning continues, with some showers before a mostly dry day.

This rain is leading to a tricky morning commute with rain ponding on some roads. 

There's a chance for additional showers to pop up around 4-5:30 p.m., though not everyone will see that rain.

After the rain, it will be a quiet and clear night heading into Wednesday.

Highs today will be in the low 80s. There will be humidity, but it won't be as stuffy as Monday. A stretch of lower temperatures is on the way, with temps in the high 70s to low 80s to round out the week.
