Strong to severe storms possible across southeast Michigan Friday
(CBS DETROIT) - After severe storms Wednesday across southeast Michigan, there is another chance for severe weather Friday.
The storm prediction center has issued a slight risk (level 2 out of 5) for severe storms.
Expect rounds of rain and storms throughout the afternoon, evening and early overnight. Rain and storms will start to arrive late this morning, then will continue to pick up and become stronger between 4PM and 3AM. The main hazards will be flooding with heavy rainfall and wind damage. However we cannot rule out hail or an isolated tornado.
Temperatures Friday will also be hot, with highs climbing in the lower 90s with heat indices reaching the middle to upper 90s. Since it will be hot and muggy, that will help add fuel to the atmosphere.
Rain amounts Friday should check in around 1" to 2" with locally higher amounts in spots.
Flood Watch has been issued for most across the region favoring areas south of I-69. The Flood Watch will go in effect at 4 PM and last until 6 AM. If you have a basement, pick up anything that could get ruined. Also, reminder to never drive through flooded waters.
