Tornado Potential With Severe Storms On Tuesday: MI Weather

SOUTHEASTERN MICHIGAN —Severe thunderstorms with the potential to spawn isolated tornadoes are likely to cross southeastern Michigan Tuesday afternoon, just four days after the region dug itself out of a spring snowstorm, according to the National Weather Service.

The strong storms are expected to roll into southeastern Michigan sometime between 4 and 11 p.m. when high temperatures climb toward 60 degrees, according to the National Weather Service.

Forecasters warned the storms can produce heavy rainfall, damaging wind gusts up to 60 miles per hour and the possibility of isolated weak tornadoes, according to the National Weather Service.

Areas east of Interstate 75 and US 23 could see the greatest threat of severe weather and the greatest chance for tornadoes will be in areas west of a line from Owosso to Ann Arbor to Adrian, according to the National Weather Service.

The rest of southeastern Michigan is under a marginal risk (level 1 of 5) for severe weather Tuesday afternoon/evening, according to the National Weather Service.

Any lingering storms should clear out of southeastern Michigan by Tuesday night when a cold front pushes lows down into the low 40s, according to the National Weather Service.

High temperatures across southeastern Michigan will hover in the 50s for the rest of the week with another chance of rain Saturday, according to the National Weather Service.
