Severe weather threat over for now

The threat of severe weather has faded Wednesday morning, but damaging winds are still a concern later in the day.

The severe threat is over… for now. 

Morning showers and storms fade by mid-morning, but scattered redevelopment is possible this afternoon. The severe threat is a bit lower than yesterday, but it’s certainly not zero. Damaging wind gusts remain the main concern.

We also still have a Flood Watch in effect for all of Southeast Michigan, so flooding could flare up in spots as rivers, streams, and creeks continue to run high. That watch is in effect until 2 a.m. Friday.

More severe storms?

More severe weather is possible Thursday, though the risk looks lower for now, down to a Marginal Risk, or 1 out of 5. 

The Flood Watch should finally expire as we catch a break from the action Friday.

Colder air on the way

That break will be brief, with another round of storms possible Saturday followed by a shift back to colder air. 

Temperatures drop below freezing again by Monday morning.
