Scattered thunderstorms are expected to develop across Michigan all day on Thursday, June 25, with clusters to be potentially severe in Michigan’s Thumb region.
Storms will develop on and off throughout Thursday, June 25, statewide. Portions of the southeast and northeast Lower Peninsula are forecast to see severe conditions, mainly small hail, heavy rain and 60 mph wind gust. There is a minimal risk for tornadoes and flash floods, though these hazards can’t be ruled out, the Detroit National Weather Service said.
“Greater potential for severe intensity is toward the Tri Cities and Thumb where strong to locally damaging wind is the primary hazard,” the Detroit NWS said.
Storms are expected to develop as early as 1 p.m. and end around 9 p.m. in the southeast Lower Peninsula.
“Showers and storms set to continue today (June 25). There is also the potential for severe storms, particularly the closer one gets to Saginaw Bay. Primary hazards are torrential rain, gusty winds, and hail. Looking ahead, we dry out Friday (June 26), with a warming trend into next week,” Gaylord NWS posted on X on June 25.
On Thursday, June 25, Michigan will continue to see cooler-than-normal temperatures ranging in the 60s to 70s, then a warming trend begins over the weekend with 90-degree air arriving by next week.
Residents are urged to have multiple ways of receiving weather alerts during the day and night if storms grow in intensity or change direction.
