April 29th brought a few severe storms to the area, bringing hail and strong winds to parts of Southeast Michigan. Nickel size hail was reported with the storms, along with 50-60 mph wind gusts causing downed trees and power lines. These storms formed in association with a warm front that had set up across the area from the associated large low pressure system in the Midwest. Southerly winds and clouds clearing out allowed for temperatures to climb into the 70s across much of the area creating the instability needed to help in storm development. The large weather system that brought the storms to Michigan, also brought a whole spectrum of weather from the Northern Great lakes to the Deep South. Snow was reported in parts of Minnesota and Northern Wisconsin, while the South endured round after round of intense severe weather, including numerous tornadoes.
