Rain, storms expected across Michigan Thursday. Where to expect wind, hail

Michigan’s Lower Peninsula is expected to see potentially severe weather on July 24, with rain developing over the Upper Peninsula as well.

“Locally damaging thunderstorm wind gusts will be possible from parts of the Great Lakes to the central and southern Plains, mainly this afternoon and evening,” the National Weather Service said Thursday morning.

Heavy rain may cause localized flooding, and strong wind gusts, up to 60 mph, lightning and hail or tornadoes are possible the weather service said.

“Showers and non-severe thunderstorms will linger this morning, but will taper off from west to east through the course of the day. Drier weather will move in for tonight and tomorrow as high pressure expands across the area,” the NWS in Marquette said on X.

Temperatures will be hot statewide through July 24 with high humidity as well, especially in the Lower Peninsula. There is a heat advisory in place from 11 a.m. to 8 p.m. on Thursday.

Across the Lower Peninsula, the highs range in the upper 80s to 90s, with heat index values in the 100s. On July 24, in Grand Rapids there is a heat index of 103 degrees.

In the Lower Peninsula, the highs range in the 70s to lower 80s.
