Severe thunderstorms are expected to develop southwest of Michigan this afternoon, moving toward our region by early tonight. While the highest risk area is primarily in Illinois and Indiana, residents in southern and western Michigan should be prepared for potential severe weather conditions.

Potential Hazards:

💨Damaging Winds: Storms may produce wind gusts capable of causing damage to trees, power lines, and structures.

🧊Hail: Large hail (up to 1.5 inches) is possible in stronger storms.

🌪️Tornado Risk: Although the highest tornado risk is southwest of Michigan, the possibility of isolated tornadoes in southern Michigan cannot be ruled out overnight.

Timing:

Storms will likely approach southern and western Michigan late this evening and persist into the overnight hours before weakening.

National Severe Weather Outlook

Severe thunderstorms today are anticipated primarily from central and northern Illinois into western Indiana. Conditions there include:

🌪️Potential for a few tornadoes.

💨Damaging winds capable of downing trees and power lines.

🧊Large hail that could cause property damage.

Further south, from Tennessee through Arkansas, Louisiana, and Mississippi, storms will likely be less severe but still capable of producing gusty winds and heavy rain.

Yesterday, multiple tornadoes were reported across several states, including Kentucky, Illinois, Tennessee, Ohio, Alabama, and Georgia. The tornadoes caused varying degrees of damage, with some notable incidents:

1. In Boyd County, Kentucky, at least EF1 intensity damage was reported, with mobile homes displaced or rolled and trees uprooted.
2. Brief tornadoes were spotted and recorded in Kankakee County, Illinois.
3. In Morgan County, Tennessee, heavy damage was reported to Schuberts Funeral Home.
4. Another tornado was spotted along Hwy 27 in Scott County, Tennessee.
5. Debris and trees were reported down on roads in Adams County, Ohio.
6. In Dallas and Chilton Counties, Alabama, trees and power lines were reported down, with multiple structures damaged near Pooles Crossroads.
7. Trees were reported down at several locations in Rockdale County, Georgia.

The storm prediction center report includes specific locations, times, and details of the damage caused by the tornadoes. Radar observations of tornado debris signatures (TDS) were also noted for some of the incidents in Alabama.

A severe weather outbreak is possible today across the Ohio Valley, with the risk of severe storms also extending into parts of the Southeast. The main threats include strong and potentially long-track tornadoes, particularly from Indiana and Ohio southward into the Mid South. The threat for strong tornadoes may focus on parts of Alabama and Georgia later this evening and into tonight.

The primary factors contributing to this severe weather outbreak are:

* A powerful storm system moving across the central United States
* Strong winds at various levels of the atmosphere, which will help to fuel severe storms
* Warm, moist air in place ahead of the storm system, providing instability for storms to develop

In the Ohio Valley, a line of storms early in the day may pose a risk for wind damage and a couple of tornadoes before moving eastward. In the wake of these storms, warm and humid air will flow northward, creating conditions favorable for the development of severe storms during the afternoon. These storms could produce tornadoes, large to very large hail, and damaging wind gusts. Some of these tornadoes could be strong and long-lived.

Farther east, strong to severe storms may continue across the central Appalachians and perhaps move into the Mid-Atlantic states, with hail and wind being the primary threats.

In the Southeast, particularly in Tennessee, Mississippi, and northern Alabama, severe thunderstorms are expected to develop this afternoon. These storms will have the potential to produce all types of severe weather, including tornadoes. As the storm system moves eastward and winds aloft strengthen, the threat for tornadoes, including a few strong tornadoes, will shift into central and eastern Alabama, Georgia, and eventually reaching the Carolinas and the eastern Florida Panhandle late tonight.

People living in these regions should be prepared for a potentially significant severe weather outbreak today and tonight. Stay informed about the latest forecasts, warnings, and advice from local officials and the National Weather Service, and be ready to take action if severe weather threatens your area.
