Heavy rain moves into southeast Michigan Monday
(CBS DETROIT) - Heavy rain will begin moving into southeast Michigan Monday afternoon. Rain will continue through Monday night and into Tuesday morning. Rain will decrease throughout the day on Tuesday.
The low-pressure system that is bringing the chances for rain and the possibility of thunderstorms has put Metro Detroit at a marginal and slight risk for excessive rainfall.
The heaviest of rainfall will be south of I-69, with one to two inches of rainfall possible. Some areas may receive around three inches of rain which could result in localized flooding.
A Flood Watch will go into effect at 8 p.m. Monday for Oakland, Wayne, Macomb, Washtenaw, and Livingston Counties and will expire at 4 p.m. Tuesday. Remember, if encountering flood waters, turn around, don't drown.
After the low-pressure system finishes moving through the region on Tuesday, the next chance for showers and storms will return on Thursday.
