Read More >

Areas of dense fog, with very low visibility of less than ½ mile, will continue past sunrise in much of northern Michigan this morning. Visibilities should improve by mid to late morning. Be sure to use low-beam headlights, reduce speed, and increase follow distance if driving.
Multiple rounds of showers and thunderstorms are expected late today and especially tonight. Isolated to scattered severe thunderstorms are possible late this afternoon into tonight across northern Michigan. The best chance of severe thunderstorms will be in northwest lower Michigan, between 6pm and 4am. The primary threat is damaging wind gusts. However, hail, localized flooding, and even a tornado remain possible.
Another round of scattered severe thunderstorms remains possible this Thursday. Best chances for severe storms remain across Michigan's Lower Peninsula Thursday evening into Thursday night. The primary threat is again damaging wind gusts, but hail, localized flooding, and a few tornadoes remain possible.
Heat and humidity will steadily build today and Thursday with apparent temperatures reaching the upper 80s to low 90s. This heat will pose a risk—especially to sensitive groups and those without adequate hydration.
