Friday storms in Metro Detroit: Breaking down hail, wind, tornado threats

4Warn Weather – Showers and storms are set to arrive in Southeast Michigan in the mid-afternoon on Friday, and should last through the night.

That wet weather has the potential to be severe, and could create some hazardous conditions like strong winds and hail.

Below, we’re breaking down the severe weather risk and threats for Friday, Aug. 11 with the help of 4Warn Meteorologist Ashlee Baracy, and the National Weather Service’s Storm Prediction Center.

Michigan under marginal risk

The Storm Prediction Center has placed nearly all of Michigan under a “marginal risk” for severe weather on Friday. This risk level, the dark green coloring on the map below, is the lowest category on the spectrum (level 1 of 5).

Meteorologists predict that multiple rounds of thunderstorms will move across all of Southeast Michigan Friday afternoon and Friday night. Storms are expected to arrive mainly after 3 p.m., and more severe weather is expected later in the evening. Isolated severe, or near severe, storms are possible.

To the west of our state, portions of multiple states are under a slight risk (level 2 of 5) for severe weather. Several parts of the U.S. are at risk for thunderstorms (the light green shade), but those aren’t expected to be severe.

Specific severe weather threats

Any severe storms that arrive in Metro Detroit on Friday have the potential to create some hazardous conditions in the area.

Wind gusts could exceed 60 mph. Hail greater than 1 inch in size is possible. The region will experience a few downpours, and there is also a low tornado threat.

We’re breaking down the specific threats in some more detail below.

Wind outlook

According to the Storm Prediction Center, strong winds are among one of the largest risks associated with Friday’s potentially severe storms.
Isolated wind gusts around 60 mph are possible during the storms. Winds moving at this speed are capable of causing considerable damage to structures, especially roofs, small trees and more.
If multiple storm cells move in a linear motion across the region, as is possible Friday, damaging wind is the most likely hazard. Strong winds are particularly possible Friday night.

Hail outlook

Large hail may fall during the thunderstorms.
Isolated hail has the potential to reach 1-inch diameter in size — about the size of a quarter.
Hail this size is capable of causing minor damage.

Tornado outlook

There is a chance for a weak, isolated tornado in Southeast Michigan on Friday.
This risk is primarily for those west of US-23, and shouldn’t affect most of Metro Detroit.
A bit further away, the Storm Prediction Center forecasts a 2% chance of a tornado just southwest of Michigan, primarily in northern Illinois. See the map of the risk below.

Detroit Lions sell out season tickets for second straight year

Detroit Lions sell out season tickets for second straight year

Allen Park — For the second consecutive year, the Detroit Lions have announced they’ve sold all of their season-ticket packages for home games at Ford Field.

“Our Lions Loyal Members are the heartbeat of our fanbase and the true foundation of our incredible home-field advantage,” Detroit Lions COO Mike Disner said in a statement. “We are proud to have reached a sellout of memberships and want to encourage interested fans to join the waitlist for the best opportunity to attend our games at Ford Field in 2025 and beyond.”

To join the waitlist, the team requires a non-refundable $100 deposit per ticket that will be applied to the eventual purchase of a package.

The Lions also sold out season tickets last year, for the first time in Ford Field’s history, while averaging 64,850 attendees for their home slate. Those fans were rewarded with the franchise’s first division title and home playoff games in three decades.

With the success came hefty price hikes, with some season-ticket packages at the front of sections more than doubling. Despite those rising prices, this year’s sellout shows the team properly gauged burgeoning demand.

The Lions did hold back a limited inventory of single-game tickets, which are scheduled to be made available through the team website and Ticketmaster on Wednesday evening, after the NFL releases its full schedule.

Miami Marlins at Detroit Tigers odds, picks and predictions

The Miami Marlins (11-31) and Detroit Tigers (20-20) begin a 3-game series Monday with 1st pitch from Comerica Park slated for 6:40 p.m. ET. Let’s analyze FanDuel Sportsbook’s lines around the Marlins vs. Tigers odds and make our expert MLB picks and predictions for the best bets.

Season series: First meeting; Marlins won 2 of 3 in 2023

Miami snapped a 5-game losing streak Sunday with a 7-6 victory over the Philadelphia Phillies. 1B Josh Bell had a 3-run HR and after the Marlins blew a 6-3 lead, it was 3B Emmanuel Rivera who delivered a pinch-hit game-winning single in the 10th inning. It’s only the 6th home win for Miami this season.

The Tigers dropped the rubber match of their series against the Houston Astros 9-3 on Sunday. RHP Justin Verlander dominated his former team striking out 8 over 7 scoreless innings. The only offense Detroit could muster was a 2-run shot from 1B Spencer Torkelson in the bottom of the 9th. The Tigers are 5-3 in interleague.

Marlins at Tigers picks and predictions

Prediction

Tigers 7, Marlins 4

Moneyline.

PASS.

I like the Tigers to handle their business at home against the worst team in baseball. I’m going to focus my wager on the run line in this one.

Run line/Against the spread

BET TIGERS -1.5 (+128).

Detroit has been beaten up lately by some of the best teams in the American League. They’ve dropped their last 3 series to the New York Yankees, Astros and Cleveland Guardians. Now, the Marlins come to town with the worst record in baseball. This is the time to get right and hopefully at least win the series if not sweep them at Comerica.

The Marlins run differential on the season is -89, they aren’t just losing games, they are getting throttled. Miami has dropped 8 of their last 9 road games.

Over/Under

BET OVER 8 (-110).

All the trends point to this game smashing the Over. They’ve gone Over the total in 2 of their last 3 meetings. The Marlins are 8-2 against the Over in their last 10, while the Detroit is 4-1 in their last 5.

You’ve also got basically a long reliever starting for Miami against a pretty pedestrian arm for the Tigers. We should see runs produced in this one.
