Thunderstorms Moving Across Michigan This Weekend

SOUTHEASTERN MICHIGAN — Thunderstorms are moving across Michigan this weekend, with a Hazardous Weather Outlook in effect for the following counties: Midland, Bay, Huron, Saginaw, Tuscola, Sanilac, Shiawassee, Genesee, Lapeer, St. Clair, Livingston, Oakland, Macomb, Washtenaw, Wayne, Lenawee and Monroe.

Widely scattered thunderstorms will be possible starting Friday night as a warm
front lifts back north into the region, according to the National Weather Service. The weather is not expected to be too severe; storm motion will be from west to east at around 30
mph.

Isolated thunderstorms will remain possible Saturday and Saturday night, mainly north of I-69, as low pressure to the west forces a warm front north of area, the forecast cautions.

There will be a better chance for thunderstorms across the entire area on Sunday as this low lifts into northern lower Michigan and forces a cold front through the region. A few of these storms may be severe and produce damaging wind gusts. Storm motion will be from
southwest to northeast at 45 mph.

Here’s a look at the weekend weather forecast:

Saturday
A chance of rain and thunderstorms before 11am. Cloudy, then gradually becoming mostly sunny, with a high near 72. East wind around 8 mph. Chance of precipitation is 30%.
