Severe storms possible throughout Southeast Michigan on Tuesday
(CBS DETROIT) - More severe storms are possible in Southeast Michigan on Tuesday.
Severe storms are possible this evening as a squall line moves in after 6 p.m. Some storms will be strong, with wind gusts up to 60 mph as well as heavy rain and lightning.
There are two rounds of showers and storms today. The first round rolled in by two this morning. This first round will brought us morning rain showers through the morning commute, then pushed out in the late morning hours. While a chance of a lingering shower will continue during the early afternoon, most of us will experience dry conditions until later in the day. Temperatures will reach the mid- to upper-50s by late afternoon.
After 6 p.m., the second, more intense, round of showers and storms will move through Southeast Michigan. A cold front will push through the area this evening, aiding the marginal chance of severe storms. The potential of these storms will continue until 10 p.m.
Some heavy rainfall is expected with today's system. One-half-inch to one-inch of rain is anticipated except for Sanilac and Huron counties, where one-quarter to one-half-inch is expected. Otherwise, wind will be the main threat throughout Tuesday.
Sustained south-southeasterly winds will reach between 20 and 25 miles per hour, gusting to 32 mph. However, winds could gust to around 60 mph within the storms. Hail will be a secondary concern for Tuesday's storms, but an isolated tornado and minor flooding cannot be ruled out.
