Severe thunderstorm chaos struck Metro Detroit and various regions in Michigan and Ontario, with hazardous weather expected in the afternoon. The severe thunderstorm watch covered 32 counties, bringing threats of brief gusts reaching 60 mph and the possibility of large hail, particularly in the eastern part of Lower Michigan. As the storms moved out of southeast Michigan, leaving behind some rain and moderate temperatures, residents braced for winds and potential severe weather conditions.

In West Michigan, counties like Allegan, Calhoun, and Kent faced severe thunderstorm warnings due to storm activities. With wind gusts exceeding 70 mph and ping pong ball-sized hail reported, the region prepared for the impact of the volatile weather. The Lansing area saw a tornado warning expire, while a severe thunderstorm watch was lifted early, signaling a momentary relief from the turbulent weather.

Interestingly, the Environment highlighted the favorable conditions for severe thunderstorm development, warning about strong wind gusts and large hail risks in various regions. Additionally, Sarnia-Lambton, Chatham-Kent, and Windsor-Essex experienced severe thunderstorm watches, with meteorologists tracking storms capable of producing intense wind gusts and large hail in Windsor-Essex. Despite the chaos, meteorologists kept a close eye on the evolving weather patterns, emphasizing the potential risks and safety measures for the affected areas.
