Hazardous Weather Outlook National Weather Service Grand Rapids MI 348 PM EDT Mon Jun 13 2022 MIZ037>040-043>046-050>052-056>059-064>067-071>074-142000- Mason-Lake-Osceola-Clare-Oceana-Newaygo-Mecosta-Isabella-Muskegon- Montcalm-Gratiot-Ottawa-Kent-Ionia-Clinton-Allegan-Barry-Eaton- Ingham-Van Buren-Kalamazoo-Calhoun-Jackson- 348 PM EDT Mon Jun 13 2022 This hazardous weather outlook is for portions of southwest Lower Michigan. .DAY ONE...Late This Afternoon and Tonight The potential remains for significant severe thunderstorms and localized flooding this evening into tonight. The primary severe threat is damaging winds, it is possible significant winds to over 75 mph are possible from the stronger storms. Large hail also remains a threat as does isolated tornadoes. Since these storms will be associated with a warm front pushing northward into this area, training thunderstorms are expect too, locations that get several storms tonight could see enough rainfall to result in localized flooding. The storms are expected to move to the east southeast around 40 to 50 mph. .DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN...Tuesday through Sunday Heat indices will be up around 100 degrees on Tuesday and Wednesday afternoon and evening. Tuesday night and Wednesday night will see temperatures stay quite warm, and will limit recovery from the heat for people that do not have air conditioning. This could be a bigger problem due to any widespread power outages that may occur from the storms tonight. Additional storms are possible Wednesday night into Thursday with the passage of the cold front. .SPOTTER INFORMATION STATEMENT... Spotter activation is likely tonight for areas south of I-96. LMZ844>849-142000- St Joseph to South Haven MI-South Haven to Holland MI- Holland to Grand Haven MI-Grand Haven to Whitehall MI- Whitehall to Pentwater MI-Pentwater to Manistee MI- 348 PM EDT Mon Jun 13 2022 This hazardous weather outlook is for portions of southwest Lower Michigan. .DAY ONE...This Afternoon and Tonight There is a potential of some significant severe weather late this afternoon into the mid evening across Southwest Lower Michigan. The main time of concern is from now until about 2 am Tuesday morning. Damaging winds of 60 mph will be the main threat, with some significant winds of over 75 mph possible. There are lower chances of hail and a waterspout. The highest chance of severe weather will be south of Whitehall. In addition, a meteotsunami event could occur for the southern shoreline if the storms were to move fast enough across the area. This would create possible coastal flooding and would cause very dangerous conditions for anyone near the water or on piers. .DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN...Tuesday through Sunday There is the potential for winds and waves that could be hazardous to smaller craft from Tuesday and especially Wednesday into Thursday. Thunderstorms are also possible later Wednesday into early Thursday. .SPOTTER INFORMATION STATEMENT... Spotter activation is likely tonight for areas south of Little Sable Point
