The weather in Southeast Michigan is set to be warm and sunny on this Monday, with temperatures starting in the 50s and 60s but expected to rise significantly throughout the day. According to the latest forecast from 4Warn Weather, highs are projected to reach the mid- and upper 80s, accompanied by a very high UV index. Residents are advised to protect themselves from the sun by wearing both sunglasses and sunscreen with appropriate SPF.
However, an air quality alert has been issued until midnight for much of Southeast Michigan due to elevated levels of ozone pollutants. Pollution in these areas is expected to reach the “unhealthy for sensitive groups” range. As a precautionary measure, it is recommended that individuals with respiratory diseases such as asthma and active children and adults limit prolonged outdoor activities.
In other news, a potentially severe weather system is expected to approach the region on Tuesday. The approaching cold front brings the possibility of isolated severe thunderstorms, which may occur in the afternoon and evening. The main concerns from these storms include isolated wind gusts of up to 60 mph and large hail. Southeast Michigan is currently at a marginal risk (level 1 of 5) for severe weather on Tuesday. Storms are anticipated to roll through in the afternoon, starting from the northern counties and moving southward. High temperatures will again be in the upper 80s on Tuesday before cooler air follows behind the front.
The severe storms are expected to clear out by Tuesday evening, allowing for a short period of respite. However, residents should remain vigilant as more rain and thunderstorms are possible midday on Wednesday. High temperatures will slightly decrease to the upper 70s. Southeast Michigan also remains at a marginal risk (level 1 of 5) for severe storms on Wednesday.
Meanwhile, in other parts of the country, scattered strong thunderstorms pose a risk for severe hail and wind across parts of the Upper Midwest into the Great Plains this afternoon and tonight. Excessive heavy rainfall may also lead to flooding concerns in the Northeast today.
