LANSING, Mich. — Partly to mostly cloudy skies have taken over behind Monday afternoon's severe storms. Conditions will remain quiet for most of the night, but additional storms will be possible around daybreak. This will depend on how storms developing tonight over Iowa and Wisconsin behave as they cross Lake Michigan, but gusty winds and heavy downpours will be possible in time for the Tuesday morning commute. Lows tonight will remain mild and muggy in the middle to upper 60s, with SSW winds at 10-15 mph.

Tuesday brings the potential for another round of scattered severe storms to our neighborhoods.

Storms on Tuesday could see some changes depending on the behavior of the cold front as well as potential showers and storms during the Tuesday morning hours. Any cloud cover or showers in the AM hours could inhibit the fueling process for afternoon storms. Timing and coverage could still see some tweaks, but make sure to have the umbrella ready for potential severe storms to begin anytime after 12 PM.

Storms arriving Tuesday carry severe potential, but fire off a bit further south and east during the afternoon and evening hours

Regardless of how storms play out, we will remain very warm and humid on Tuesday. Highs will reach the mid 80s for one more day, with dew points well into the 60s. It will be breezy again outside of any thunderstorms, with SSW winds at 15-20 mph gusting up to 35 mph at times.

We will cool down once the cold front advances through Mid-Michigan. Wednesday and Thursday bring highs back into the mid to lower 60's with overnight lows in the lower 40's. We are expecting to see more sunshine as surface high pressure takes over the forecast. More showers and even a possible storm could return to end our week and take us into the Memorial Day weekend. We will be watching closely.
