As Michigan braces itself for a two-day severe weather outbreak, residents in the state can breathe a sigh of relief as the risk of tornadoes has been eliminated. The Storm Prediction Center (SPC) has outlined the potential for severe storms in the Lower Peninsula, with an increased chance on Tuesday.

According to the SPC, today Michigan falls under a Level 1 chance of experiencing severe storms on a scale of five. However, the most probable type of severe weather during this period will be brief wind gusts accompanying thunderstorms. The threat of a tornado has been completely removed for this evening.

The likelihood of severe wind gusts this evening remains relatively low, standing at just five percent. This suggests that any severe wind gusts will likely be isolated and limited in scope.

Looking ahead to tomorrow, Michigan faces a higher chance of severe weather. However, these storms are expected to weaken as they move towards the state from the west. There is a possibility of isolated tornadoes in areas stretching from Traverse City to Big Rapids and into the western part of Lower Michigan.

In addition, Tuesday's forecast indicates a significantly greater chance of severe wind gusts throughout Michigan, including the Upper Peninsula.

It is important to note that the bulk of the severe weather activity is projected to occur west of Michigan. Radar forecasts provide a general understanding of the timing and locations of the two rounds of storms. While the accuracy of the timing remains uncertain due to the complex weather situation, it is expected that one round of storms will occur this evening, followed by another round tomorrow evening.

As the storms are most likely to develop in the evening hours, they are expected to gradually weaken as the night progresses. Residents are advised to be prepared for possible bursts of severe thunderstorms both this evening and Tuesday evening. The greater probability of severe storms is predicted for tomorrow.

Michigan residents are encouraged to stay updated on the storm situation, as conditions can change rapidly. Stay vigilant and take necessary precautions to ensure personal safety during this severe weather outbreak.
