A fresh round of storms is sweeping across Southeast Michigan on Tuesday, with morning showers likely to linger into the afternoon. The most active window is expected between 7 and 11 a.m., but shower and storm chances could continue through the day and into the evening. Some storms may dump heavy rain and produce gusty winds, so an umbrella and extra caution outdoors will be prudent.
Temperatures will peak around 81 degrees this afternoon, but the real story will be the rising humidity. After a stretch of comfortable air, stickier conditions return as rain clears. This set-up marks a classic unsettled August day across the region.
Showers and storms should wind down Tuesday night as skies gradually clear and temperatures fall to about 67 degrees. A north wind will help dry things out a bit and ease the humidity heading into Thursday.
The trend toward drier air doesn’t last long. By the end of the week, highs should climb back into the mid-80s with more sunshine, setting up a warmer, brighter finish to the week and into the weekend.
What this means for you:
– Action item: keep a close eye on the forecast Tuesday morning and be ready for brief heavy downpours and gusty winds.
– Plan for interruptions if you’re outdoors in the late morning to early afternoon.
– Humidity will feel uncomfortable today; a fan or cooling strategy can help indoors.
Overall, Tuesday brings unsettled weather with the potential for heavy rain and gusty winds, followed by a return to warmer, sunnier conditions as the week progresses. If you’re hopeful for weekend plans, the forecast suggests better weather ahead.
