Storms On The Way!

Good Evening!

Time will tell what we get regarding storms in the South Central Michigan Weather Zone.  The stage is set, now we just have to see if Nature is in the mood to bring us some severe weather.  Temperatures around the area are in the 80's with dewpoints right around 70.  That's quality air for storms to nosh on!  Have a look at this map which is a measure of available energy for thunderstorms to feed on, it's called surface-based cape or SBCAPE:

SBCAPE around 3000 Joules in this area!  Lot's of energy for hungry storms to feed on!
Just look at those numbers...anything above 2000 and you're possibly in for a rough ride!

Have a look at TruTrack Doppler Radar, you can see the lone storm in our area, but the National Weather Service is watching it closely as it is starting to spin:  You also see the Severe Thunderstorm Warnings associated with it.


We'll have updates as they become available!
