Detroit. The storms hit, and they were serious.
The National Weather Service issued a four-warn weather alert covering the severe threat, which tells you this wasn't a routine storm watch. Damaging winds, large hail, and the chance of isolated tornadoes were the primary concerns.
That eighty-seven degree high is the part worth sitting with. Unseasonably hot air loaded with moisture created a prime environment for storm intensification.
The good news is the pattern is shifting. Wednesday brings cooler air and clearing skies after some morning clouds.
Keep an eye on how quickly those morning clouds clear Wednesday. The cooler air mass looks to hold through mid-week, which gives the region a real reset after two rough days.
Detroit. The worst of it is behind you.
