DETROIT (WWJ) – Metro Detroit is bracing for some potentially severe weather on Monday, followed by a heatwave that could break some records.
The National Weather Service in Detroit says a strong warm front lifting into the Central Great Lakes Monday evening will potentially cause a large thunderstorm complex to develop over Southeast Michigan.
The storms will be capable of producing damaging winds and flash flooding, according to AccuWeather meteorologist John Feerick. The NWS says there could potentially even be some large hail.
Some summer heat and humidity will be moving in behind those storms. Feerick says there will be a high of about 82 on Tuesday, with high humidity.
But things will really start to heat up on Wednesday, when the area could see some record-breaking temps. AccuWeather says temperatures could climb into the upper 90s on Wednesday, with the RealFeel temp exceeding 100.
The record highs for June 15 in the area include 95 in Detroit (1988) and 93 in Flint (1988) and Saginaw (1994)
Currently, AccuWeather’s website says Wednesday could get as hot as 99 degrees.
The NWS is reminding everyone to be prepared for the heat, especially if you have any outdoor activities planned.
