U-shaped zone around Lake Michigan including Chicago and Milwaukee could potentially see severe rains, rainstorms, and at the further extreme tornadoesLake Michigan looks a bit like a picture of a thumb pointing downward, a thumb generally bends in two sections, the section furthest out from the hand, when the thumb pointed downward, is the area of Lake Michigan that could have nearby land regions potentially undergo severe rainstorms later today, and for the western part of that region, such as Milwaukee, could extend or take place on Wednesday at the levels of severity warranting possible storm watches.
Tornado watch in effect now for the southwestern part of Michigan.
Major areas of concern:
- southwestern Michigan
- southeastern Wisconsin
- northwestern Indiana
- northeastern Illinois
