To be clear, there is often the "possibility " of severe storms. BUT the Storm Prediction Center put us in the General to Slight risk category today. http://www.wunderground.com/severeconvective.asp?outlook=today

Thanks for that link. The maps have already changed quite a bit from when I first posted this. When I got up this morning, just about all of Michigan was under a more band of likely severe storms, but as you note, this is now quite different.
