4Warn Weather - A weather pattern nicknamed the “Ring of Fire” is in place over the central part of the U.S. This setup is when the active weather systems move around the edge a ridge of high pressure, bringing repeat chances for rain and storms.
You can see where showers and storms are located across the country this evening and how they generally go around a dry ridge in the Central and Southern Plains.
There is a chance that storms moving through here Sunday and Monday could be strong, with the better chance at seeing organized storms happening on Monday.
The Storm Prediction Center has placed all of Southeast Michigan under a Marginal Risk (level 1 out of 5) for severe weather Sunday.
If storms develop, the main threats would be damaging winds and large hail. Currently, the afternoon and evening would be the main time frame to see thunderstorms. These storms would be isolated, and the uncertainty remains high regarding development. As always with strong storms, everything needs to come together to produce them, and Sunday isn’t a guarantee, but a chance is there.
Monday there is a little bit better of a chance for strong storms. There is a Slight Risk (level 2 out of 5) for severe weather Monday.
The main time frame looks to be through the afternoon into the late-night, but storms could fire up as early as midday. The main storm hazards will be damaging winds and large hail, but heavy downpours and an isolated tornado are possible.
Contributing to our storm chances, you’ll notice it’s hotter and more humid over the next couple of days.
After starting Sunday in the mid 60s, afternoon highs will be near 90°.
We’ll only fall to around 70° Sunday night, and go back up near the 90° mark Monday afternoon as well.
On the backside of the systems bringing the heat, humidity, and storm chances, we’ll be cooler and drier. Southeast Michigan will see more sun to end the week with low to mid 80s Tuesday through Saturday.
