The coverage is low due to the best forcing lagging farther west (where overnight crapvection muddied things), but I feel like high end potential deserves a watch. Especially in southern Michigan where the population isn’t exactly sparse. The parameters were certainly there for a strong tornado, even if the models weren’t firing convection at that time.

Big boomer rolling through. Loud cracks.

I feel bad for the people effected, but the video with the frozen lake in the foreground is classic.

Yea. Both sups this evening and QLCS later after dark could produce.

Most classic hook you will ever see in Michigan.

Based on the high helicity environment right on the warm front and the broad rotation I thought it was working up to something 20 minutes ago.

CC drop. Tornado warning up finally.

That cluster is starting to rotate. Maybe we need a severe thread for this afternoon? Edit: Surprised this cell isn’t severe warned yet.

The first half of next week looks interesting with a strong north-displaced zonal flow. That’s the best pattern for getting steep mid-level lapse rates up into the Great Lakes.

Keep the palm trees covered.

Badly in need of a road wash. Looking grimy out here.

Yes, but April concrete slop sucks. I’ll take the moisture, but its not the same as a deep winter storm.

I just don’t want a complete miss south stank on the upcoming rain and warmth.

I already forgot November. So long ago. Not even meteorological winter.

December, yea. You know CAD doesn’t count. You have to be trolling.
