GRAND RAPIDS, Mich. — The focus of the West Michigan weather forecast is the likelihood of thunderstorms that will continue into early Sunday, which includes a continuing risk of severe weather and/or heavy rainfall. As of Sunday morning, the majority of West Michigan is currently in an ‘Slight Risk’, which is a level 2 of 5 risk.
In all, West Michigan should be prepared for continued storms early Sunday.
We could see several hours of heavy rainfall around West Michigan with this second wave of thunderstorms, which could lead to some potential flooding, especially in lower lying areas and those that usually flood in heavy rainfall. Severe weather is less likely with these storms, but an isolated strong thunderstorm is still possible.
In terms of rainfall, some areas could quickly pick up 1 to as high as 4+ inches from Saturday morning through Sunday afternoon. This will be a widespread rainfall, but if any areas of training storms develop, localized flooding risks will likely develop.
