Overview
- Temperatures have eased from the recent heat to seasonable highs in the 70s with the coolest readings in the Thumb and slightly warmer readings near Detroit and Monroe.
- Showers and thunderstorms are expected to develop Tuesday afternoon and evening with enough instability for a few stronger, gusty storms.
- Wednesday’s system is forecast to become more widespread and moist, with 1 to 2 inches of rain possible in spots and a risk of localized flooding where heavy storms repeatedly hit the same areas.
- The storm system should move out by Thursday and conditions are projected to improve in time for Juneteenth and Father’s Day weekend outdoor plans.
- Local meteorologists urge residents to monitor forecasts and prepare for brief flash flooding in urban and poor-drainage zones and for isolated strong wind gusts during the heavier storms.
