WEST MICHIGAN — The Weather Ready Alert continues through the overnight hours due to the threat of a few severe storms, and isolated heavy downpours that could cause flooding. The risk is lower than it was earlier today, but not zero.

All of West Michigan is included in a MARGINAL RISK (Level 1 out of 5) for isolated severe storms through the overnight. The primary threat are damaging wind gusts and small hail, along with heavy rain. The tornado threat is low but not zero.

A weakening line of storms coming out of Wisconsin could maintain some of its strength as it moves across Lake Michigan for the next few hours, through around midnight to 1 a.m.. This line of storms is the best opportunity for a strong to severe storm in West Michigan.
