NWS Detroit has issued a severe thunderstorm warning for most of Washtenaw County until 5:45pm. This warning is in the path of a storm which developed south of Jackson and is tracking northeast at 28 mph. Hazards from this storm include 60mph wind gusts and quarter-sized hail.
The storm is expected to be near Barton Hills/Ann Arbor at 5:20pm.
I will monitor this storm; as we saw earlier, storms today have been dissipating more quickly owing to the relatively cool temperatures, so this storm may no longer be severe by the times it reaches us.
