A Few Things For The Afternoon...

Good Afternoon...

Just a few points to mention - super busy day at the regular job:

• The best chance of severe weather will be between now and say, 10 PM.
• The higher risk appears to be in the eastern part of Michigan; for the blog this means Lenawee, Washtenaw, Livingston and Shiawassee counties.
• While the Storm Prediction Center does not expect to issue a Severe Thunderstorm Watch, severe storms could fire any time in the next 8 hours, and require a warning for strong straight-line winds and hail.
• Forecast models have the threat diminishing overnight, as we lose sunlight and the air cools off, thus becoming more stable.
• Expect a hot and muggy next 36 hours or so...dewpoint values will stay in the 60's.  Highs will push or reach 90 today, so heat index values become an issue.  Lows tonight will remain around 70 in most spots, exceptions would be anywhere you get some storms to use up the moisture and such in the air.

I'll tweet and Facebook radar and such as necessary today.  South Central Michigan Weather on Facebook, and @wxMikeD on Twitter.
