Severe Thunderstorm Watch issued for Southeast Michigan
A Severe Thunderstorm Watch has been issued for all of Southeast Michigan until 10 p.m. Sunday.
A severe thunderstorm watch is issued when atmospheric conditions are ideal for thunderstorms capable of winds of 58 mph or greater and quarter-sized hail or greater. This means to watch out for changing weather conditions and the potential for a warning.
A severe thunderstorm warning is issued when a storm can produce dangerously high winds or large hail. Tornadoes can also develop even when there is a severe thunderstorm warning. You should always shelter during a severe storm.
A tornado warning means that a tornado has been spotted or indicated by radar, or there is strong indication that a funnel will touch down. This means that there is imminent danger to the warned area. Get indoors and shelter immediately!
A 4Warn Weather Alert has also been declared for Southeast Michigan for the risk of severe thunderstorms.
The Storm Prediction Center upgraded Southeast Michigan to an enhanced (level 3 of 5) risk on Sunday, which means that there is a “high confidence” of scattered to numerous severe storms with “damaging winds, severe hail, and/or tornado tornadoes.”
Where should you take cover?
Home
Go to the basement or lowest level of your home. If there is not a basement, get into an interior room or closet. Avoid being near windows.
Mobile Home
If you have enough time before a severe thunderstorm or possible tornado arrives, go to a nearby sturdy building and wait out the storm.
Driving
It is not safe to try to ride out or outrun a tornado in your vehicle. Get inside the nearest building.
Outside
Find the nearest building to go inside. If you cannot get to the building in time, try to find a ditch, lie flat, and cover your head.
The risk of severe thunderstorms should exit by 10 p.m.
Showers and thunderstorms will still be possible after that time, but the threat for severe weather will have ended.
Behind the cold front, temperatures will fall into the 50s overnight. The temperatures will continue falling on Monday. After morning rain showers, it will be mostly cloudy.
Have multiple ways to get alerts, including a NOAA Weather Radio and the 4Warn Weather app.

Michigan football coach Kyle Whittingham introduced to Crisler crowd
Michigan football coach Kyle Whittingham introduced to Crisler Center in Ann Arbor on Friday, Jan. 2, 2026.
Michigan football did the bulk of its work on recruiting its class of 2027 in May and June, but continues to round out its class, which came with another commitment in the trenches.
The Wolverines landed a pledge from four-star interior lineman Lincoln Mageo out of Oceanside High in Oceanside, California, who chose U-M over Utah and Washington on Saturday, July 11. Mageo, who had more than 20 Division I offers including programs such as Ohio State, Texas and USC, stands 6 feet 4 and 280 pounds.
Mageo, who visited Ann Arbor in early June, was named a Polynesian Bowl All-Star.
“Strong customer as a drive blocker in the run game,” 247Sports scouting analyst Gabe Brooks wrote. “Flashes some heavy-handed pop, particularly when traveling and when helping in pass pro.
“Enhancing fluidity throughout lower half will raise the ceiling on pass-pro ability. Projects to the P4 level as a candidate to become a run-game enforcer.”
Mageo is rated the No. 19 interior lineman in the nation, the No. 31 player in California and No. 369 in the class of 2027, according to 247Sports’ composite rankings. He’s the fourth offensive line pledge to sign on to play for position coach Jim Harding, joining four-star Jakari Lipsey, three-star Sidney Rouleau and three-star Louis Esposito (the son of former U-M D-line coach Lou Esposito, who departed for the NFL’s Baltimore Ravens).
Michigan now has 21 commits in its class, which was ranked No. 19, per 247, prior to Mageo’s commitment.

ROTHBURY, Mich. — Michigan State Police (MSP) detectives shared some more information Friday about their investigation of the infant death at this year’s Electric Forest music festival in Rothbury.
Troopers recently received a tip about a Muskegon woman who was said to have information about the incident, but after interviewing her and completing other necessary investigative steps, MSP said they ruled her out as a suspect.
A restroom vending company employee at the festival found the body of a neonate, a newborn infant who is four weeks old or younger, in a portable restroom in the festival camping area on June 28, according to troopers.
The festival is hosted at the Double JJ Resort, which was locked down to anyone entering the following day as police surrounded the scene.
Troopers are asking for tips from the public at michigan.gov/michtip.
