Storm chances increase Monday. Storms will develop to our northwest and race south-southeastward bringing damaging winds gusts, and possible hail and an isolated tornado. As of now, the storms track along the west side of the state, but it's possible for them to push farther east and into southeast Michigan by Monday morning, mainly after 7 a.m.

Watch the forecast below

A better chance for severe storms for southeast arrives Monday evening ahead of a cold front. All severe weather threats are possible, with damaging wind gusts being the biggest threat.

There is still a lot of uncertainty with time and location of the storms. One of the biggest questions is if we get morning storms, will the atmosphere become more unstable again and support severe storms in the evening. Plan now for potential severe storms. Have ways to receive weather alerts and plan on where to go to seek shelter.

A few showers linger Tuesday as temperatures slide into the low to mid 80s. Drier weather returns Wednesday and continues through the rest of the week. High temperatures stay in the low to mid 80s.

Tonight: Partly cloudy with a slight storm chance. Lows in the upper 60s, near 70°. Winds: Calm.

Monday: Partly sunny. Strong to severe storms possible late. Highs in the mid to upper 80s. Winds: SW 5-10 mph.

Tuesday: A few showers early, then partly sunny. Highs in the low 80s. Winds: N 10-20 mph.
