DETROIT—Heavy rains brought flooding to parts of Michigan early Thursday, shutting down some freeways in the Detroit area, as waves of thunderstorms made their way across large swaths of the Midwest.

The storms come as dangerous heat persists in the Northwest, Northeast, and the central portions of the country. Heat warnings and heat advisories were in effect for another day Thursday.
