There could be gusts and two rounds of storms in parts of Michigan on Tuesday

After last week’s heat wave and high humidity ended with thunderstorms over the weekend, there is a renewed possibility of severe weather on Tuesday, according to the National Weather Service.

Currently, the early forecast indicates there could be two waves of storms moving across West Michigan, including the southwestern and south-central parts of the Lower Peninsula. NWS meteorologists in the Grand Rapids office say the window for this possible severe weather begins on the 2nd, meaning it will start at 2 a.m. and 2 p.m. Tuesday.

West Michigan

The first severe weather window is forecast for Tuesday from 2 a.m. to 8 a.m. The NWS says:

• There is a possibility of a gust front with destructive winds
• Rainfall of 1 inch or more is possible during these morning storms

The second severe weather window is forecast for Tuesday from 2 p.m. to midnight. The NWS says:

• Severe storms are possible in the afternoon and evening
• Hail is one of the severe weather hazards
• The greatest threat for severe weather is in the area near and south of I-96 and especially near and south of I-94.
• If storms repeat over the same areas in the morning and afternoon, there is a risk of flooding.

Southeast Michigan

Currently, southeast Michigan is still forecast to see hot weather, but definitely more temperate. In Detroit and Ann Arbor, highs could reach 31 degrees on Tuesday, with at least a 30% chance of rain or thunderstorms.
