closes Friday at nine and reopens. Before the Monday morning commute. Alright We
continue to follow a wild
evening of severe weather here.
Kim, this is the scene from
Pinckney. We’ve got some you can
kind of see clouds swirling
there in the back taking shape
and again. It’s really hard for
anybody to declare on the night
that it happens that it’s a
tornado. It takes a lot of
digging and looking for the
telltale signs of it. If you’re
as we mentioned earlier, if
you’re living under it, you
don’t really care because
straight line winds can be just
as damaged, sometimes even more
damaging than a weak tornado.
But I have to say thank you so
much to all of our viewers that
sentence in videos miters. Yeah
Meteorologist. It’s almost like
collecting evidence. So I’m in a
you know, a studio with no
windows. I’ve got the radar I’ve
got. You know all the tools that
I need, but actually seeing the
hail what’s coming on?
Especially tonight It was all
about your own evidence linking
any of it. Thank you so much to
everyone that sent us in video
and my picks. I want to start,
though, with exact track 40
radar because even though 99.9%
in Metro Detroit is dry tonight
. We still got one little area
and I want to focus on it. It is
up in ST Clair County Court here
on getting some light rain also
in Marysville, But right now, a
thunderstorm right in between ST
Clair and Marine City and then
another little one over near
Emmett Right along I 69. These
are all moving off to the east
and they will be out of here
before you know it Before
midnight Tonight, everything
will come to an end. For quite
some time. I’ll show you that in
a moment, but we’ve had several
hail reports today. Large hail
as well Theory and Northfield
1.75 inch hail that is like a
large egg, not quite to a tennis
ball, but pretty large. Hail an
inch and a half and Pinckney,
Belleville one and a quarter
inches and then can’t and this
is mostly what we saw was around
an inch, which is the size of a
quarter. The coin a quarter.
That’s what we saw in Canton
Northville, part Of Plymouth and
several areas around metro
Detroit. When we see that hail
that’s when we think it could
be, you know some rotation, Not
always, but it is something that
we definitely look out for his
meteorologist, So thank you for
the pictures. This comes from
South Howell and you can see the
different size Hail there. This
would be close to a golf ball
size, and this is what we saw.
Most of Again around a quarter
size. Here’s another one from
Detroit and close to a golf ball
and enough to do some damage. It
will be interesting to see Maybe
that’s our next round of my
picks. If you have damage to
your car, or maybe to your
house, we can take a look at
that as well. Alright Rain
chances over the next seven
days. No, I didn’t forget to
fill out this map. There’s just
nothing on it. There’s not a
chance of rain for the next
week. We get into one of those
blocking patterns that we got
into at the end of May and went
that long stretch. Without any
rain, and that’s the situation
Now. Today was the last chance
for rain for quite some time. So
the drought monitor came out
today. And things actually got a
little bit worse. We’re now in a
moderate drought, mainly south
of I 94 up into the thumb still
in abnormally dry. This does not
include today’s rain, and it
also doesn’t include the rain
that we had a couple of days ago
. So on Tuesday, we had some
showers that will come on next
week’s report. So hopefully
we’ll have some improvement.
This also does not include
Today’s rain, But so far this
month we’ve had three quarters
of an inch, and we should be
over an inch and a half.
Tomorrow we get our sunshine
back. Here’s something pleasant
to talk about. 61 in the morning
74 by two o’clock in the
afternoon, and we’ll get into
the upper seventies by four
o’clock with Maybe a couple
clouds in the morning, but
otherwise sunshine for the
afternoon rain cooled air up
import here on it’s only 59
degrees 61 in Pontiac 62 at
metro High temperatures over the
next four days start to climb
back up into the low eighties,
in fact, slightly above normal
for Father’s Day weekend. Your
forecast for tonight Showers
will come to an end. We just got
those last little thunderstorms
to get out of here. They’re not
severe up in ST Clair County, so
don’t worry about that. We’re
done with the severe weather 57
the overnight low tomorrow,
sunshine gets us into the Upper
seventies little breezy Tomorrow
winds out of the north. About 10
to 20. Well, we hit the lottery
with this one sunshine every
single day, with highs getting
into the low eighties. So we go
from you know whether that looks
like we live in. You know, the
tornado alley to now we’re in
California and San Diego with
sunshine every single day. So
beautiful. So thank you again
