"Severe Storms Forecast: Tornadoes, Hail, and High Winds Threaten Midwest"

The NOAA's Storm Prediction Center has issued severe weather forecasts for Michigan, indicating the possibility of tornadoes, large hail, and damaging wind gusts on Tuesday evening and night. The highest chance of isolated tornadoes is along the southern Michigan border counties, with a smaller chance extending north through Kent County, Genesee County, and into southern Saginaw County. The southern third of Lower Michigan faces a 15 percent chance of brief damaging wind gusts, while the far southern counties have the potential for two-inch hail or larger. The timing and location of the storms will be crucial, as severe thunderstorms are possible due to a storm system taking an April-like track.
