The wider storm

A low pressure system traversed the Northern Plains into the Great Lakes region pushing a warm front into Michigan allowing a cold front to sweep through the area. With the warm sector overhead, this allowed for optimal moisture. Storms developed across parts of the area, with a few producing damaging winds and large hail.

Began near Shamrock Lakes (40.4300, -85.4000).
