The wider storm

A line of thunderstorms developed ahead of a frontal boundary and moved across Lake Michigan during the morning hours of July 26, 2023. These thunderstorms would eventually track across the state into a very warm and unstable environment. The southern end of the line of storms is where the strongest winds associated with the line would develop and moved across the lower portions of southeast Michigan during the afternoon between 2 PM and 5 PM. A swath of widespread 60-70 mph wind gusts with locally higher gusts resulted in numerous downed trees, downed powerlines, and around 165,000 power outages in southeast Michigan. The Ann Arbor and the Detroit/Grosse Pointe areas were hit the hardest.

Began near Algonac Arpt (42.6100, -82.5900).
