Severe storms threaten Michigan after hail and rain.
A severe thunderstorm produced hail ranging from pea size to tennis ball size across West Michigan on Tuesday evening. The storm, which originated in the Chicagoland area, made landfall in northern Van Buren and southern Allegan County before tracking across US-131 into Barry County and Ionia County. Spring storms are typically good hail-makers due to their ability to tap into cold air aloft. Strong to severe storms are forecast again on Wednesday with large hail, strong winds, and an isolated tornado possible. Stay with Storm Team 8 for the latest updates.
