There is a chance of thunderstorms late this afternoon through tonight with a marginal risk of storms becoming severe. Storms could reach the Tri-Cities by 4 p.m. and then continue to the east and south through tonight. The primary time window for severe storms is 4 p.m. to 10 p.m. and mainly north of I-69. The strongest storms will be capable of damaging wind gusts of 60 mph or greater.
Potential thunderstorm hazards transition from damaging wind during the evening to heavy rainfall after midnight as a cold front settles slowly southward through Lower Michigan. Repeated heavy downpours are possible which could lead to flooding of prone areas after midnight.
