    West Michigan is back in the spotlight for storms. We've endured cooler air most of August, limiting the fuel for storms. But this has changed for the last week of this month. Over the next three days, we remain in a risk or threat for strong to severe storms. Hail and wind would be the primary threats.

    Below is the Storm Prediction Center outlook for today and tonight.

    The SLIGHT RISK is a 2 out of 5 severe weather scale, and a concern for potentially 2 rounds of storms, one in the early morning, with another late afternoon & evening on Tuesday is possible.

    Here's a screenshot of future track for potential storms Tuesday morning.

    Another round after 5 p.m. will be possible as well. Wind and hail are the main threats, but an isolated tornado chance is non-zero.

    See the SPC Day 2 Tuesday outlook below.

    Below is the SPC Day 3 outlook for Wednesday. Areas along/east of U.S. 131 are in a level 2 of 5 (yellow).

    In-between any precipitation, humidity is going to be very high, with Dew Points in the low/mid 70s. This will push feels like temperatures into the triple digits with actual air temperatures in the lower 90s.

    The Storm Prediction Center now updates the storm outlooks every 12 hours, instead of once a day, allowing for more detailed updates more often. We will keep you updated on any changes with a very unstable air mass moving in.
