severe storms

Severe thunderstorms are expected across southern Michigan starting Wednesday afternoon, with damaging winds, hail, and isolated tornadoes possible.

Updated forecasts now show even more of Michigan at risk of severe storms on Friday. Large hail, damaging winds and isolated tornadoes are all possible.

Two people were killed and another 44 were injured in tornadoes in Michigan in 2022, the highest numbers in a quarter-century.

A new destructive thunderstorm wireless emergency alert will roll out nationwide, allowing the NWS to reach as many people as possible with critical life saving information in the shortest amount of time.

A potentially dangerous situation is unfolding in areas of West Michigan, due to the combination of excessive heat and power outages caused by severe thunderstorms early Saturday morning.
