An early season severe weather episode broke out in the form of mini-supercells.

Several reports of funnel clouds, none of which touched down, were received when the supercells were at its peak. Most reports were hail up to 1 inch, and reports of hail that accumulated in  spots. By the end of the event, most thunderstorm cells transitioned  into line segments over far southeast/metro Detroit with wind damage.
