More Storms Expected Friday Amid Summer-Like Heat: MI Weather

MICHIGAN — More showers and thunderstorms are expected across Michigan on Friday, just after a powerful line of storms caused widespread power outages and triggered several tornado warnings, according to the National Weather Service.

Forecasters expect the storms to begin moving across west Michigan sometime between 8 and 11 p.m. Friday. The storms are expected to move into southeastern Michigan around midnight and into the overnight hours.

Forecasters do not expect these storms to be as strong as Thursday's storms, but they warned the storms can still produce heavy downpours, large hail and winds reaching up to 55 miles per hour.

High temperatures across Michigan are also expected to reach the upper 80s before the storms hit, according to the weather service.

An overnight cool front will then knock temperatures across Michigan back into the 60s. That trend will continue into next week, according to the weather service.

The forecasted storms come less than 24 hours after a powerful line of storms rolled across the state, causing widespread damage and leaving more than 200,000 without power. The storms also triggered several tornado warnings, with at least one touching down Thursday night near Lansing, according to the weather service.

Extended Detroit area NWS forecast:

Friday: Storms (late); High 86, Low 61

Saturday: Chance of thunderstorms (early); high 68, low 53

Sunday: Partly sunny; high 68, low 49

Monday: Mostly sunny; high 64, low 46
