The wider storm
Record high temperatures were set across the area on February 27th, and the unseasonably warm and relatively humid airmass set the stage for an early season severe weather event. A line of severe thunderstorms moved in from the southwest
and several supercell thunderstorms developed as well.
One long lived supercell with a persistent mesocyclone caused damage along the I-94 corridor which included an EF-1 Tornado near Marshall Michigan. Along with this supercell, a line of storms brought hail up to two and a half inches in diameter to a few locations south of I-96.
Began near Texas Corners (42.1700, -85.7500).
