SAGINAW, Mich.—A First Alert Weather Day is in place for Tuesday evening and tonight, with severe thunderstorms expected. And yeah, after what the area already went through, it’s not just “regular stormy” weather this time.
This afternoon may actually feel like a bit of a breather, but the advice is pretty straightforward: stay weather-aware and get ready now. If you’re going to bed earlier, charge your devices first—because you don’t want to wake up in the middle of it with a dead phone.
The bigger backdrop today is flooding concern. After all of the rain and storms last night—especially up north—flooding concerns continue on rivers and streams, and low-lying areas have ponding water. It has felt like nonstop runoff with the ground already saturated. Misryoum newsroom reported there are multiple flood-related alerts up north this morning, including Flash Flood Warnings, Flood Advisories, and a Flood Watch, with details available via a link.
Rain showers are expected to cease for the entire TV5 area by 8 to 9 AM today. Then daytime calms down—relatively. Like Monday, the daytime today will be pleasant enough, with some sunshine possible and highs around 73 degrees. The wind will be southwesterly, sustained speeds 15 to 20 mph, gusts up to 30 mph. It’s still far above the normal high for April 14th of 55 degrees, so if you step outside, it’ll feel almost springlike… until the evening reminder hits.
Around 8 to 9 PM, the pattern flips back to storm mode, and that’s why the First Alert Weather Day starts at 8 PM. All forms of severe weather are possible: strong wind gusts, large hail (especially likely), and even an isolated tornado. Misryoum editorial desk noted the forecast calls for more severe thunderstorm warnings than on Monday night. Even the timing matters here, with storms expected to move in near 9 PM Tuesday, then around 10 PM, and again near 11 PM.
Heavy rainfall is also still a concern, and it’s not just for the usual spots. Some flash flooding and more low-level ponding are possible. Misryoum analysis indicates some areas between Saginaw and Flint could pick up an additional two inches of rain, and the Tittabawassee River is forecast to crest in a similar manner to Easter Weekend. Road closures are expected as a result. The heavy-rain band has its greatest likelihood of ending up between Saginaw and Flint, but it could shift north or south depending on where thunderstorms train. One small real-world detail: you can almost hear it coming—when storms ramp up, the air pressure changes and the wind starts to slap louder against the windows.
As for when this all shuts down, the storms will be over by 2 AM, if not earlier, though more rain showers could continue into Wednesday morning. Wednesday itself won’t look as stormy, just damp, with periods of lighter showers that can linger. The rest of the week stays mostly manageable: scattered showers are expected Thursday, then it turns drier by evening/night. Friday is set up to be the driest day before more rain arrives Saturday. Temperatures, despite the frequent wet weather, stay mild through Saturday with highs in the upper 60s to low 70s. Sunday brings a cooldown, and Misryoum newsroom suggested taking a peek at the TV5 First Alert 7-Day Forecast—because, honestly, this week is the kind where the details keep shifting as the storms decide where they want to set up.
