Temperatures soaring into the lower 90s across much of Southeast Michigan set the stage for severe storms as a strong cold front dropped south into southern Lower Michigan. First round of storms developed near Saginaw Bay during the early afternoon hours.  A second round of storms arrived during the evening hours, spawning an EF1 tornado in Owendale in western Huron County. The solid line of storms then tracked south through all of southeast Michigan, exiting the State shortly after midnight. Sporadic wind damage occurred, leaving over 60,000 DTE customers without power. Rainfall totals exceeded 2 inches in isolated spots. There was also golf ball size hail reported near Saginaw.
