The prospect of severe thunderstorms will target part of Michigan on Halloween

A strong cold front will produce a line of thunderstorms on Halloween. The storms will be the result of record heat being displaced by much cooler air.

The meeting of hot and cool air masses on Halloween afternoon will produce this narrow line of thunderstorms. We're talking about a prolonged rainy season in northern Lower Michigan and the Upper Peninsula. However, the potential severe weather area in southern Michigan will only see occasional showers and half an hour of thunderstorms.

This means that, like many severe thunderstorm situations in Michigan, the storms on Halloween could be intense but quick.

Here is the severe thunderstorm forecast from the Storm Prediction Center. It is not expected that this will be a classic, large-scale storm situation. This letter is just an indication of quick thunderstorms that might surprise you during an outdoor project.

The first forecast is the general forecast for any type of severe weather. Light storms are expected across the light green shaded area of ​​most of Michigan.

The Storm Prediction Center believes there is no threat of tornadoes or severe hail. They only give a small portion of Michigan around Coldwater, Hillsdale and Camden the chance of isolated damaging wind gusts.

The strongest thunderstorms are expected to move through Lower Michigan during the second half of tomorrow afternoon. Here is the radar forecast. It doesn't look like much, but keep in mind that these storms should be fast and intense.

Get ready for a big weather change on Halloween afternoon. We will move from temperatures in the 70s to temperatures in the 50s by early evening. During the transition period, we may have to avoid a quick, severe thunderstorm.
