Small chance of thunderstorms through tonight; slight severe storm risk

Nothing too exciting is happening today; just a typical (if somewhat cold) summer day. We have a high chance of seeing some rain today, but only around a 10% chance of thunderstorms today into tonight.

Some storms across SE Michigan might become severe later this afternoon, with damaging winds and small hail. It is too early to predict with certainty whether any storms that approach Ann Arbor will be particularly strong, though, and this risk is quite small for us today.

Relevant portion of today’s hazardous weather outlook, via NWS Detroit:

THERE IS A CHANCE OF THUNDERSTORMS TODAY AND TONIGHT. A FEW
STORMS MAY BECOME SEVERE CAPABLE OF PRODUCING 60 MPH WIND GUSTS IN
ADDITION TO PEA SIZE HAIL AS THEY TRACK TO THE NORTHEAST AT 35 MPH.
