Strong to severe storms in the forecast later tonight
LANSING, Mich. (WLNS) — While today remains dry and warm, late tonight the potential for strong to severe storms moves in. With storms moving in late tonight into early Friday make sure you have multiple ways to receive alerts including those that will wake you up tonight. The Storm Prediction Center has Mid-Michigan in either a 2 or 3 out of 5 risk for severe weather for late tonight into early Friday morning. Areas west of US-127 including those in Eaton, Ionia, Barry, Calhoun, and Branch Counties are in that orange color or a Level 3 of 5 Enhanced Risk for strong to severe storms. Areas east of US-127, including portions of Ingham, Jackson, Clinton, and Hillsdale County, are in the yellow color or a Level 2 of 5 Risk. Temperatures are already in the 60s this morning with widespread scattered fog, we will warm up into the low 80s with dew points into the 60s. This means it will feel like a late summer day across Mid-Michigan today. After the fog burns off this morning we will see mostly sunny skies with a few patches of fair weather clouds moving in into the afternoon. Any sunshine we see during the day will add more energy to the atmosphere to help fuel any of those potential severe storms late tonight. A few showers could bubble up ahead of the cold front this evening around 7 to 8 pm however the main cold front will roll through between 10 pm tonight and 2 am Friday. The main concern will be the potential for large hail and strong damaging winds in any of the severe storms that form across the area. We also can not rule out the chance of a brief or isolated tornado across Mid-Michigan. Stay tuned for additional updates on our severe weather potential from our StormTracker 6 Weather Team.

Strong to severe storms possible late Thursday night
LANSING, Mich. (WLNS) — Active weather will continue across Mid-Michigan on Wednesday, with the chance for a few pop-up showers and thunderstorms returning to the forecast this evening. However, our main concern is the potential for severe weather across the area late Thursday evening into early Friday morning. The Storm Prediction Center has areas west of US-127 in a Level 3 of 5 Enhanced Risk for strong to severe storms, including those in Eaton, Ionia, Barry, Calhoun, and Branch County. Areas east of US-127, including portions of Ingham, Jackson, Clinton, and Hillsdale County, are a Level 2 of 5 Risk. We have dry and partly cloudy conditions in the forecast for most of Thursday. Any sunshine we see during the day will help destabilize the atmosphere and fuel any potential severe weather late Thursday evening. A line of showers and thunderstorms will roll through ahead of a cold front between 9 pm Thursday and 2 am Friday. The main concern will be the potential for large hail and strong damaging winds in any of the severe storms that form across the area. We also can not rule out the chance of a brief or isolated tornado across Mid-Michigan. Stay tuned for additional updates on our severe weather potential from our StormTracker 6 Weather Team.

Summer-like temperatures move in for our Thursday
LANSING, Mich. (WLNS) — Sunny and warm conditions remain in the forecast across Mid-Michigan for our Thursday, and while we will stay above average for tomorrow, that warmth will come with the chance for a few scattered showers and thunderstorms. For our Thursday, we have dry and mostly sunny/partly cloudy conditions in the forecast, with high temperatures rising into the upper 70s to low 80s. Temperatures will remain above average for our Friday, with highs in the mid-70s. However, a cold front will track through the region early Friday afternoon, generating the chance for a few scattered showers and thunderstorms. Due to the timing of this system, precipitation will not be sticking around for long, with rainfall totals likely remaining below half an inch across the region. Dry weather returns to the forecast Friday evening and continues through the weekend, with temperatures dropping slightly below average in the upper 50s. Temperatures will rebound rather quickly, returning above average by Sunday. We have another shot at highs near 80 degrees early next week on Tuesday, but it could come with the chance for a few strong to severe storms. Our StormTracker 6 Weather Team will continue monitoring the forecast for Tuesday and provide additional updates on-air, online, and through the StormTracker 6 Weather App. Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc.

Rain/Snow showers return tomorrow morning
LANSING, Mich. (WLNS) — We have a beautiful and warm forecast for our Monday, with high temperatures climbing into the mid to low-60s across the area. However, it will be a different story across Mid-Michigan by tomorrow morning, with a mix of rain and snow in the forecast. As we move throughout the rest of our Monday, we will bounce between partly cloudy and mostly cloudy skies. High temperatures will climb into the mid-60s. But it will also come with breezy conditions, with winds expected to gust between 25-35 miles per hour this afternoon and evening. We will hold on to the windy conditions overnight, with overnight lows falling into the mid-30s – meaning wind chill temperatures by tomorrow morning will likely be in the upper 20s to low 30s. In addition to the cooler temperatures, we are also tracking a system that will bring a quick round of a rain/snow mix to the area early Tuesday morning. Little to no accumulations are expected from this system, with highs tomorrow only reaching into the mid-40s. Winds will remain breezy across the area tomorrow, with gusts between 35-40 miles per hour, dropping wind chills into the mid to low-30s throughout the day. Temperatures will begin to warm by Wednesday, eventually rising above average as we move into the second half of the work week. Our StormTracker 6 Weather Team is also monitoring the potential for a few strong to severe storms across the area on Friday. Our team will have additional updates on this system as we move throughout the rest of the week on-air, online, and through the StormTracker 6 Weather App. Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc.

Marching into April with another chance for severe weather
LANSING, Mich. (WLNS) — The chance for severe weather will return to the Central and Eastern portions of the United States, affecting just under 92 million people, including us in Mid-Michigan. The Storm Prediction Center has areas along and south of I-96 in an Enhanced Level 3 of 5 Risk for strong to severe storms. A Level 2 risk is in place for Montcalm and Gratiot Counties, extending down through portions of Ionia, Clinton, and Shiawassee Counties. All hazards appear to be in play with this next system. The biggest concern will be the potential for strong, damaging winds at or above 75 miles per hour. In addition, we also have an elevated risk for large hail and an isolated tornado or two. Our storm system will begin to move into the region overnight, bringing the chance for a few snow flurries. A warm front will begin to lift through the region Wednesday morning, with showers and non-severe thunderstorms possible. Our chance for severe weather will increase around 4 pm Wednesday and continue until about midnight. There are still questions about how much the atmosphere will be able to recover after our first round of precipitation on Wednesday morning. If we can develop enough instability Wednesday evening, it would support the threat of strong damaging winds, large hail, and an isolated tornado or two. However, if we can not develop this instability, our severe weather potential will decrease across the region. Our StormTracker 6 Weather Team will continue to monitor this system as we move throughout the next 36 hours and provide additional updates on-air, online, and through the StormTracker 6 Weather App. Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc.
