Here are the updated severe weather outlooks from the Storm Prediction Center for tonight and Sunday. There is also a severe weather risk on Monday, although it isn't clearly delineated on the outlook map.
I'm waiting for some scattered storms to fire up as the warm front lifts northward this evening. The best chance of storms tonight is north of I-96. Otherwise, we should expect to stay dry until late in the day on Sunday. As the cold front approaches into Monday, chances of storms increase, although the upper-level support is not terribly impressive for severe weather in that timeframe.
Saturday night's outlook:

Sunday's outlook (through early Monday morning)- note that I've included the outlook with probabilities for a better sense of where the greatest risk lies to our west.
