More Thunderstorm Chances Monday In Metro Detroit

METRO DETROIT — More showers and thunderstorms are expected in the metro Detroit area Monday, according to the National Weather Service.

The rain showers with possible rumbles of thunder are expected to cross the region sometime in the afternoon and evening hours when temperatures reach the mid 70s, the weather service said.

Although forecasters do not expect any severe weather Monday, the showers could bring pockets of heavy rainfall and gusty winds to some isolated areas, the weather service said.

The heaviest rainfall should clear out of the region by Monday night just as the 2023 Ford Fireworks are scheduled to begin in Downtown Detroit.

However, some scattered showers in the region will linger into Tuesday morning, before fading away during the afternoon hours when temperatures top out in the mid-70s, the weather service said.

A round of severe thunderstorms rolled through metro Detroit on Sunday evening, knocking out power to over 70,000 DTE customers in the region.
