Wanted to quickly point out that West Michigan falls in the risk area for severe thunderstorms at a couple of points later this week.
Thursday's outlook:
Saturday's outlook (Saturday is marked as D4):
A lot will depend on the timing of the cold fronts that will move through the region on both of these days. While there will be a bit more warmth and moisture "fuel" to work with Thursday, the cold front on Saturday currently looks to be the stronger of the two.
Best case scenario- Thursday's front clears the area before storms develop in the afternoon, and Saturday's front holds off until late night/early Sunday.
Worst case scenario- The first front hangs around through Thursday afternoon, allowing severe storms to the south of the front; Saturday's storms arrive in the early evening when temperatures are near their warmest.
As always, we'll keep you posted! - JS
