Metro Detroit is expected to see another episode of rain this week, and more potential flooding.

Steve Considine, meteorologist with National Weather Service White Lake office, said flooding is possible Wednesday as wind speeds between 15 to 20 m.p.h. are predicted across Lake St. Clair and Lake Erie, potentially causing water levels to rise above the shoreline.

"One thing we have to watch out for on Wednesday and Wednesday night is the gusty winds," Considine said, mentioning that wind gust is predicted at about 25 m.p.h.

Detroit officials say the city regularly faces flooding hazards, most often in the spring through the fall. It tends to be caused by heavy rains, which reach the river channels and overburden the sewer system.

The weather service issued a lakeshore flood warning for Wayne, Macomb and Monroe counties effective 8 a.m. Wednesday until 8 a.m. Thursday. The warning stated that water levels may exceed 72 inches Wednesday along the entire Lake Erie shoreline.

Considine said one-inch accumulation is predicted between Wednesday and Thursday, but could potentially increase as thunderstorms are expected Wednesday night and Thursday.

Temperatures are expected to be in the mid-50s Tuesday and Wednesday and then rise, close to 70 degrees, on Thursday. Wind speed throughout the week is predicted to be between 7 to 11 m.p.h. Tuesday, 10 to 17 m.p.h. Wednesday and 10 to 13 m.p.h. Thursday.

Considine said rain is expected to taper off by Friday.

The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration said earlier this spring that Michigan is expected to experience minor flooding throughout the spring.
