DETROIT (WWJ) – Most of lower Michigan experienced thunderstorms late Saturday night into the early morning hours Sunday, and forecasters say more of that could be on the way Sunday afternoon into the evening.

The National Weather Service in Detroit says there’s a “slight risk” for severe storms this afternoon. The NWS says the area southeast of a line extending roughly from Hillsdale to Detroit can expect to see the strongest storms.

Northwest of that area has a marginal risk.

AccuWeather meteorologist Matt Benz says these heavy, gusty thunderstorms could carry the threat for flooding, heavy downpours, hail and damaging winds.

The NWS says wind gusts could reach up to 60 mph, while large hail and a potential isolated tornado are possible.

The NWS issued a Small Craft Advisory for waters near the shores of Saginaw Bay, southern Lake Huron, Lake St. Clair and western Lake Erie for Sunday.

The potential for severe weather is expected to remain from 2-8 p.m. Sunday. The potentially severe weather had Sunday’s Tigers game at Comerica Park in question, but it started at 1:40 p.m. as scheduled.

Benz says Monday will be “overall a nicer day,” as it becomes less humid. There will be a mix of sunshine and clouds, with an expected high of 80 degrees.

The storms that rolled through Saturday night and Sunday morning left thousands without power across Metro Detroit. As of 2:30 p.m. Sunday, DTE said there were roughly 4,300 homes and businesses without power. CHECK THE DTE OUTAGE MAP HERE.
