Southeast Michigan storms: Severe weather possible later Thursday

Severe weather possible Thursday in Southeast Michigan

Wet weather Thursday in Michigan brings the chance for severe storms in Metro Detroit. Alan Longstreet breaks down the likelihood of strong storms. 

DETROIT (FOX 2) - Spring is in the air – but so are potentially severe storms.

Temps are looking good today with 60s winning out and a 70 not out of the question south. Rain will eventually sully things, but for now we bask in the glory. 

Severe storm risk

Wet weather develops this afternoon with storms possible. A few could turn severe, though not everyone sees them. The main window looks like 3–8 p.m. 

Damaging wind and hail are the primary threats, with the greatest risk south into Indiana and Ohio. That said, the northern edge of that risk does creep up toward I-94 from Ann Arbor to Detroit, so it’s something we’ll be watching. 

Part of Southeast Michigan falls into the Marginal risk of severe weather category, while the lowest part of the state is in the Slight risk category.

Temps drop again

Enjoy the warmth while it’s here, it’s fleeting. Temps drop fast tonight and by tomorrow morning wind chills fall into the teens. 

The warmth is back next week, though.
