Seeing a few storms today; some could turn severe

As reported by Tim Gross, meteorologist with the National Weather Service in Davenport, a cold front is coming through the area.

Please be safe! Remember that a SEVERE T’STORM WATCH means that conditions are favorable for the development of severe thunderstorms…defined as having at least 58 miles per hour winds and/or one inch size hail or larger.

The next chance for storms will be Wednesday and Thursday.

Today will bring in another round of wet weather and warm temperatures. Temperatures will be even cooler Tuesday morning, with a low about 60 degrees, with high in the lower 80s, Gross said. That means Oceana and Muskegon Counties will see these storms first as they drop south and east. The entire area remains under a SEVERE T’STORM WATCH until 2 AM.

The possibility of tornadoes remains slight, with only a 2 percent chance or less.

Meanwhile Sunday, storms storms pummeled other parts of the Midwest. Those in attendance at the Grant Park site were moved to underground shelters along Michigan Avenue.

Severe storms – the type that convey hail, damaging winds and the potential of tornadoes – are anticipated throughout the Great Lakes area tonight, based on the National Weather Service.
