Marine Thunderstorm Wind — Michigan City in To New Buffalo Mi, Lake Michigan

2015-07-18 · near Michigan City C-man Station (mcyi3), Michigan City in To New Buffalo Mi, Lake Michigan

Wider weather episode

Weak shortwave trough moving through upper Michigan combined with retreating outflow boundary from morning/early afternoon storms, which moved through northern Indiana/northwest Ohio, spurned new storm development from southern Wisconsin southeast through northeast Illinois by later afternoon. Storms were initially sub-severe and disorganized, but a bowing segment developed as cold pool strengthened, causing strong winds along the lake shore areas of Lake Michigan before moving inland.
