A few showers and thunderstorms passed through northeast Michigan on Tuesday afternoon, with small hail even reported near Lachine! We have warmer temperatures on the way in, and a change in air mass with particularly cold air above the ground can result in showers.

Wednesday stays dry, as does most of Thursday. The likelihood of showers and thunderstorms increases on Thursday evening. Rain is to be expected on Friday, with the risk of thunderstorms well into the evening.
