The Storm Prediction Center outlook for today has generally reduced the expected chances of severe storms later today:

The best chance of severe storms would come along and east of U.S. 131 this afternoon as a cold front sweeps into the region. A lot will depend on how quickly we get rid of clouds and rain that are around West Michigan this morning. Situations similar to this so far this year have not resulted in many storms for our area, so I'm thinking the chances are slim today as well -- but this is a stronger system than most that we've seen as well. We'll continue to monitor the chances, and you can always check out the radar and alert maps at FOX17Online.com. -JS
