Storms move across southeast Michigan on Tuesday; cooler temperatures ahead
Severe thunderstorms will hit southeast Michigan Tuesday morning as a storm front moves through the Midwest.
The National Weather Service forecast showers and heavy thunderstorms for the morning, with over 1 inch of intense rain and a 10 to 20 percent chance of thunderstorms.
After the storms, it will be very humid and warm in the Detroit area on Tuesday afternoon, NWS Detroit announced on X.
The NWS also issued a severe weather warning for Tuesday, effective until 11:00 a.m. Central Standard Time (CST), for areas stretching from Illinois, Indiana and Iowa to Wisconsin, Michigan and Ohio.
Cities across the Midwest will see hailstones the size of ping-pong balls, winds up to 70 mph and possible lightning, according to NWS Detroit.
NWS Detroit has announced a severe weather warning for Washtenaw, Lenawee and Monroe counties that will remain in effect until noon.
The weather service predicted heavy rain, wind speeds of up to 60 mph and hail up to 1 inch thick in these areas.
According to the weather service, the NWS is forecasting a lower chance of storms for Metro Detroit on Tuesday night, followed by partly cloudy skies and highs around 27 degrees Celsius.
The expected calmer weather bodes well for golf fans who will have to wait for the storms to pass before Tuesday’s Rocket Mortgage Classic PGA Tour tournament.
Officials announced that the gates of the Detroit Golf Club will not open until 1 p.m. Tuesday due to inclement weather concerns.
The upcoming cooler temperatures follow a predicted heat wave that hit cities in southeast Michigan last week, sending temperatures in Detroit more than 10 degrees above typical mid-June highs.
“There could be another one,” said Sara Schultz, a meteorologist with the weather service, about the recent heat wave. “We are only at the beginning of summer.”
