Hold up, before you go to bed, you should be aware of our incoming squall line.
Here shortly before 11 pm EDT on June 5th, we are monitoring a strong to severe line of storms on, or approaching northern Lake Michigan, currently producing pea size hail, 60 mph winds, and perhaps a few waterspouts. With time, guidance shows this line of storms maintaining its strength, fueling themselves on some excess instability into the Lower Peninsula. Our main hazard, and likely only hazard will be severe winds of 60 mph, however, a less than 3% chance for a tornado is also possible. The SPC in Norman, OK also reintroduced low-end severe weather probabilities for the overnight timeframe, so we will undoubtedly stay up all night monitoring radar for you. Additional pop-up storms are also possible along and south of I-96 between 1-4 am EDT ahead of the squall line.
Shown here is the approximate timing hour-by-hour overnight. If warnings do get issued for wind, make sure you have ways to wake yourself up, including alerts on your phone, and of course a weather radio. Also a good time to remind you all that sirens are not intended to be heard indoors, so if you rely on sirens, have other options as well. Severe is not a guarantee with this being a fringe severe atmosphere, but again, we will be monitoring just in case. Send us all the love (and energy drinks) you can give. Follow us on YouTube or Twitch TV to receive notifications for when we go live as well, if we do.
Time of post, 10:59 pm EDT 6/5/26.
