Severe thunderstorm watch issued for all of Southeast Michigan
(CBS DETROIT) - Severe weather is possible Friday evening between 4 p.m. and 10 p.m. across Southeast Michigan as a cold front dives through the area.
A severe thunderstorm watch has been issued for Lapeer, Livingston, Lenawee, Macomb, Monroe, Oakland, Sanilac, St. Clair, Washtenaw and Wayne counties until 9 p.m. Friday.
The Storm Prediction Center has Southeast Michigan under a slight risk for severe storms. This category means that scattered severe storms are possible in the dedicated time.
Damaging straight-line winds are the primary concern, followed by a chance for hail and flooding. Flooding issues would be in low-lying areas or underneath overpasses, as we have seen several times this summer.
An isolated tornado risk also exists, but mainly north of I-96 and closer to the water.
