Tornado, Hail, 60 MPH Winds To Hit Detroit Area Thursday

METRO DETROIT — Severe thunderstorms are expected to hit the metro Detroit area amid a warm and humid Thursday, according to the National Weather Service.

High temperatures will hit the 80s with elevated humidity levels across the region before the storms move into the area during the nighttime hours between 10 p.m. and 3 a.m., according to the weather service.

Forecasters warned the storms will be capable of producing heavy downpours, large hail, damaging wind gusts reaching up to 60 miles per hour and even an isolated tornado.
