Western U.P. may be in for rough ride today, while Mid Michigan & Thumb get it tomorrow

The most severe weather in our state thus far this year has actually been in the U.P., where a tornado watch was issued a dozen or so days ago. It looks as though the same area will be under the gun as some rather intense storms are forecast to develop over eastern Minnesota and move eastward.

A very small sliver of the U.P. actually finds itself under an enhanced risk for severe weather. Most of the western portion is under a slight risk, and most of the rest, a marginal risk. This comes from the same system that will hit Mid Michigan tomorrow. The slight risk and marginal risk areas have actually been expanded in the SPC day 2 outlook, as I expected to happen.
