From Grand Rapids to Saginaw, residents of the southern region of Michigan were advised to prepare for severe weather on Wednesday, which could include tornadoes, thunderstorms, quarter-sized hail, winds of 65 mph or more, and flooding.
Additionally, there’s a chance that the storms and power outages will ruin the Beyoncé event.
Increased Severe Storm Probability in Metro Detroit
According to National Storms Service meteorologist Steve Considine, the probability of severe storms this afternoon and evening is increasing for Metro Detroit.
This suggests that scattered thunderstorms are expected.
Although the hazard is smaller in the north, he cautioned that inclement weather would likely sweep the state.
Strong wind gusts, which have the potential to down trees and power lines as well as trigger tornadoes, are the main concern during the worst of it, which is predicted to occur between 2 pm and 9 pm.
Furthermore, the Detroit Area Agency on Aging issued a warning that the heat, which reached 90 degrees, could have an adverse effect on older individuals and those with disabilities and result in heat-related illnesses.
Headache, nausea, excessive perspiration, disorientation, and pale or flushed skin are symptoms.
The organization asked people to remain hydrated, keep cool, and to check on our elderly citizens.
The exact time the storms would strike wouldn’t be known until later in the day, according to early Wednesday forecasts, but the metro Detroit area might experience terrible weather at the same time as the Beyoncé event at Ford Field.
