Southeastern Michigan is facing the possibility of extreme weather Tuesday night, which could include thunderstorms and "isolated tornadoes," according to the National Weather Service.

Trent Frey, a meteorologist with the National Weather Service, said Tuesday that rain had been observed in the metro area of ​​Detroit, with 1.2 inches of rain in an hour at Romulus Metro Airport.

This rain had left water on the pavement of the John C. Lodge Freeway on the west side of Detroit, north to Linwood and south to Livernois, according to the Michigan Department of Transportation.

Highs could reach 78 degrees in the afternoon and drop to around 64 degrees during the night.

The threat of severe weather poses its greatest risk between 7 pm Tuesday at 2 am Wednesday Meanwhile, gusts of wind in the region could reach 60 miles at the hour.

The tornado threat exists in the southeastern Michigan band below Interstate 69, Frey said.

The storms will be the result of a hot, humid air coming from southern Michigan, while a cold front settles.

After Tuesday afternoon, the week will turn to the cold, with peaks the rest of the week mainly in the 60s.
