A strong multicell moving west to east made landfall near Ludington around 3 PM EDT. This storm then tracked due east until it reached Mount Pleasant where it took a sharp turn toward the southeast. Shortly after, a large hail core materialized dropping hailstones that measured 2 inches in diameter (lime or hen egg sized) near Brant Township after 515 PM EDT and 1.75 inch (golf ball sized) hail closer to Chesaning. The last severe hail report (1 inch) with this storm occurred just before Montrose at 545 PM EDT. The storm weakened shortly afterwards near the Flint and Lapeer areas.

These storms produced mainly damaging wind gusts as they approached the M-54 corridor around 745 PM EDT. There were several reports of trees and power lines brought down as the storms tracked east along the I-69 corridor. Storms exited east into southern Ontario before 10 PM EDT.
