The National Weather Service issued a severe weather advisory Tuesday for southeast Michigan as thunderstorms are possible through the afternoon and evening.
The outlook is for portions of Lake Erie, Lake Huron and Lake St Clair, with severe weather most likely to start after 2 p.m. in the region and end around 10 p.m.
There is a potential for thunderstorms and multiple rounds of showers to develop through the night, with the strongest storms capable of producing heavy rainfall, the weather service said. Isolated thunderstorm wind gusts of 50 to 60 mph are possible in the afternoon and evening while torrential downpours could make localized flooding possible.
The most rainfall is expected near Saginaw and Flint, which could see up to an inch. Metro Detroit is forecast to receive less than half an inch with the potential for heavier rainfall in localized spots.
Late Monday, area storms dropped around 0.39 inches, according to NWS.
Wednesday will also see a chance of showers throughout the day, with a 30% chance before 2 p.m., between 2 p.m. and 5 p.m. and after 5 p.m. After that, the region isn’t likely to see rain until Sunday.
Meanwhile, the mercury is slated to climb near the upper 80s and lower 90s for much of the week while lows are in the 70s.
So far this month, Metro Detroit has seen two days of readings at 90 degrees or above, records show.
The normal high in August is 81.4 and the normal low is 63.2, according to the weather service.
