The wider storm

Low pressure crossing the Midwest dragged a cold front through the region, resulting in another round of thunderstorms on the evening of the 16th. These produced primarily gusty winds between 40-50mph and some isolated hail up to nickel size.

Began near Manistee (44.2700, -86.2500).
