—According to the WILX website, a thunderstorm will track into Michigan from Wisconsin around midnight. The site also said rainfall is expected to fall more than an inch and hour with storms that may "impact the Thursday morning commute."
Local meteorologists have recommended that residents in the area take cover just in case.
"The risk of destructive weather is so high that forecasters were asking residents to consider sleeping in an interior part of their homes because they may not have enough time to take cover," meteorologist Brandon Hoving told Lansing State Journal.
