What the National Weather Service wrote

The public two miles east of Scotts and south of Climax reported that hail up to an inch in diameter briefly covered the ground.

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 Climax (42.2000, -85.3400).
