Wider weather episode

A trough crossing the region amid sufficient low-level instability and shear led to a few low-topped supercell showers over northern Michigan. One of these low-topped cells produced a brief EF-0 tornado on the ground of Forest Dunes Golf Club in southern Crawford County. This tornado was on the ground for 0.3 miles/1 minute. A number of trees were damaged, with trees also falling on a home in the area.
