The wider storm
As a significant ridge was over the southeastern US, hot and unstable air was over Michigan's Upper Peninsula by the 30th. This warm and moist air caused unseasonable heat impacts, and forcing from an approaching upper level disturbance over the Canadian Prairie initiated thunderstorms that caused multiple forms of severe weather, including the first confirmed tornado for the Upper Peninsula since 2020.
