Michigan Storms Leave Outages Across the Dte Outage Map

A line of severe storms pushed east across Michigan on Monday, and the dte outage map still showed power outages after gusts reached 80 mph. Trees and houses took damage as the line moved through the state.

By 7 PM, the storms were expected to be out of Michigan. For anyone checking the dte outage map, that meant crews were still working while scattered outages lingered after the strongest winds passed.

Michigan Storms and 80 mph Gusts

The gusts topped 80 mph in the strongest part of the line. That kind of wind is enough to snap trees and damage homes, which is exactly what was reported across the storm path.

Power outages were still being reported as the line moved east. The damage was not limited to one spot, which is why the outages stayed visible after the weather itself had shifted away.

Tuesday's Slight Risk in Mid-Michigan

Tuesday was set to bring another warm and muggy day before storms moved east again in the middle to late afternoon and toward the early evening. The Storm Prediction Center had Mid-Michigan at a Slight Risk level 2 out of 5 for severe weather.

Gusty winds, heavy rain, and hail were the main threats for Mid-Michigan on Tuesday. Wednesday was expected to turn cooler and drier with sunshine, and Thursday was expected to bring more sun with temperatures still in the 60s.

The next real test for households will be whether Tuesday's storms add to the outages already on the dte outage map. People still without power from Monday's line will be watching for the first quiet stretch and the first signs that crews can catch up.
