The wider storm

A seasonably strong shortwave progressed over the Midwest and mid-Mississippi River Valley, providing support for a sub-1000mb cyclone just west of Lake Michigan. Favorable warm, moist advection across the Great Lakes set the state for severe thunderstorms during the afternoon and evening. Multiple rounds of thunderstorms tracked across northern Michigan through the afternoon and evening, producing severe hail on various occasions near the Gaylord area, damaging winds across parts of the area, and heavy rainfall in Traverse City that resulted in flash flooding.

Began near Fouch (44.8400, -85.7300).
