- NON-ZERO CHANCE FOR STORMS THIS MORNING
STILL THE POTENTIAL FOR A FEW LIGHTNING STRIKES FROM THE SHOWERS
CURRENTLY OVER THE AREA. THE SHOWERS CURRENTLY OVER MICHIGAN GIVE
OUR SOUTHERN AND EASTERN ZONES THEIR BEST SHOT FOR RAIN/THUNDER
THIS MORNING.
THE NORTHERN ZONES BEST CHANCE COMES FROM WHETHER OR NOT SHOWERS/STORMS
CURRENTLY DEVELOPING OVER WISCONSIN MAKE A SOUTHERLY/SOUTHEASTERLY
TURN AND MAKE IT ACROSS LAKE MICHIGAN. STILL ENOUGH INSTABILITY TO
KEEP US IN THE MARGINAL RISK FOR SEVERE WEATHER - WITH GREATEST
RISK FOR HAIL AND DAMAGING WINDS. MODELS HAVE ALL BACKED OFF
SOMEWHAT ON BRINGING ANYTHING INTO THE AREA AT ALL...KEEPING
DECAYING STORMS IN NORTHERN LOWER...SO THIS MORNING COULD ALSO BE
A COMPLETE BUST. IT CERTAINLY A WAIT AND SEE WHAT THE NEXT FEW
HOURS BRINGS KIND OF A MORNING. WINDOW FOR ANY STORMS TODAY SEEMS
TO CLOSE AROUND OR SHORTLY AFTER NOON.
- EXTREME HEAT STARTS TO SET IN TODAY
THE WELL ADVERTISED HEAT AND HUMIDITY STARTS TO BUILD IN TODAY AND
REMAINS THROUGH AT LEAST THE END OF THE WEEK. HIGH TEMPERATURES
SHOULD REACH THE UPPER 80S TO LOWER 90S TODAY ACROSS WEST
MICHIGAN...MAKING MONDAY THE COOLEST DAY OF THE WEEK. 90S TO NEAR
100 FOR HIGHS TUESDAY THROUGH THURSDAY ARE STILL EXPECTED WITH
HEAT INDEX VALUES OF 105+. LACK OF OVERNIGHT RELIEF FROM THE HEAT
AND HUMIDITY STILL EXPECTED WITH LOWS IN THE 70S FOR AT LEAST THE

ITS POSSIBLE WE MIGHT SEE A FEW RECORD HIGHS THIS WEEK...BUT WE
MAY BE MORE LIKELY TO BREAK A COUPLE OF RECORD WARM LOW
TEMPERATURES.
