The radar
The Detroit radar (KDTX), 34 km from the middle of the area, began a volume at 21:59 UTC, the scan nearest the moment this went out.

The archived warnings, watches and discussions in force at that minute are drawn over the scan, this one among them.
Did it verify
Not verified. The Iowa Environmental Mesonet's Cow found no qualifying storm report inside this tornado warning while it was in force. That is not proof nothing happened: reports are thin where few people live.
Cow counts a report within 15 km of the polygon while the warning was in force: a tornado for a tornado warning; hail of 1 inch or more, a gust of 58 mph or more or wind damage for a severe thunderstorm warning; a flash flood report for a flash flood warning.
The nearest sounding before it
Detroit, MI (KDTX), launched 12:00Z, 9.9 hours before the alert went out and 38 km from the middle of its area. This is the routine balloon launch nearest before it, the air the forecaster had in hand, not a measurement taken for the alert.

OROWWhat forecasters said that day
The local office's own words before this tornado warning went out, as it sent them, from the Iowa Environmental Mesonet's archive of National Weather Service text.
NWS Detroit, MI wrote its last area forecast discussion before this tornado warning went out at May 28, 3:30 PM EDT, 2 hours 26 minutes earlier.
Area forecast discussion, May 28, 3:30 PM EDT, 2 hours 26 minutes before
AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE DETROIT/PONTIAC MI 330 PM EDT TUE MAY 28 2013 .SHORT TERM...TONIGHT A DEEPENING LOW LEVEL MOISTURE PROFILE /DEWPOINTS SOLIDLY IN THE MID 60S/ CONTRIBUTING TO A VERY SLOWLY DESTABILIZING ENVIRONMENT THIS AFTERNOON IN THE WAKE OF MCV SUPPORTED LINEAR SLIGHTLY ELEVATED CONVECTIVE LINE NOW SEEN EXITING TO THE EAST. WEAK WARM AIR ADVECTION ON THE OUTER FRINGE OF THE INTRUDING WARM SECTOR AND MIXED SOUTHWESTERLIES...COMBINED WITH A POCKETS OF THINNING CLOUD COVER...EASING TEMPERATURES INTO THE MID AND UPPER 70S FROM THE I-94 CORRIDOR BACK THROUGH NORTHERN IN/SOUTHWEST LOWER MI. GIVEN THE ELEVATED BOUNDARY LAYER MOISTURE CONTENT...THIS IS SUFFICIENT TOWARD GENERATING UPWARDS OF 1000-1500 J/KG OF MLCAPE ALONG THE NORTHERN EXTENT OF THE EFFECTIVE LOW LEVEL INSTABILITY GRADIENT. CORRIDOR OF DEEPER INSTABILITY TRAILS BACK INTO PORTIONS OF SOUTHWEST ILLINOIS...WHERE A SMALL CONVECTIVE CLUSTER CONTINUES TO LIFT NORTHEAST. MULTIPLE VERY MINOR PERTURBATIONS NOTED ON WATER VAPOR TRANSLATING THROUGH THE DEEPER SOUTHWEST FLOW FROM THE SOUTHERN PLAINS INTO MISSOURI/ILLINOIS. LEAD WAVE LIFTING OFF THE END OF LAKE MICHIGAN AT 19Z. A SOLID LOW LEVEL GRADIENT REMAINS DRAPED ACROSS THIS REGION...MAINTAINING A BELT OF 30-40 KNOT WINDS AT 850 MB. THIS BROADER ASCENT RESULTING IN AN EXPANSION IN SHOWER/EMBEDDED THUNDER COVERAGE ACROSS SOUTHWEST LOWER MI. THE MAIN QUESTION THROUGH THIS EVENING REMAINS WHETHER THE DEGREE OF BOUNDARY LAYER DESTABILIZATION CAN EVER BECOME ADEQUATE ENOUGH TO SUPPORT ANYTHING BEYOND A MORE GENERAL SCATTERED TO NUMEROUS SHOWER/THUNDERSTORM OPPORTUNITY AS THIS FORCING FIELD WORKS ACROSS THE AREA. SHOULD MORE ROBUST DEVELOPMENT OF CONVECTION EMERGE UPSTREAM...THERE WILL REMAIN THE POTENTIAL FOR SOME DEGREE OF UPSCALE GROWTH ALONG THE INSTABILITY GRADIENT AND ON THE FRINGE OF THE EXPANDING MID LEVEL CAP. THIS WILL MAINTAIN AT LEAST AN ISOLATED SEVERE WIND GUST RISK INTO THE LATE EVENING HOURS GIVEN SUFFICIENT DEEP LAYER SHEAR. && .LONG TERM...WEDNESDAY THROUGH MONDAY UNSETTLED UPPER AIR AND JET STREAM PATTERNS THE NEXT FEW DAYS WILL KEEP A CHANCE OF THUNDERSTORMS IN THE FORECAST FOR THE WORK WEEK. CURRENT WV AND IR SATELLITE IMAGERY SHOWS THE NEXT FEATURE OF INTEREST COMING ONSHORE IN THE NRN CA AND OR COAST IN THE FORM OF A 110KT JET STREAM. AS THIS JET PROGRESSES INLAND...IT WILL SHAPE AN UPPER LEVEL TROUGH OVER THE UPPER MIDWEST THUR TO FRI. THE JET THEN ACCELERATES TO 130KT DURING THE WEEKEND AS IT EXITS EASTERN CANADA. SEVERAL JETLETS WILL INTERACT WITH THE MAIN JET STREAM AND UPPER TROUGHS TO PRODUCE MESOSCALE FEATURES LEADING TO OUR SURFACE WEATHER FORECAST THROUGH DAY 7. TO START WEDNESDAY...THE SRN CWA WILL BE IN THE RIGHT REAR ENTRANCE REGION OF A WEAK JETLET. DESPITE AN UPPER LEVEL RIDGE STABILIZING THE REGION...THERE WILL BE ENOUGH VERTICAL MOTION AND NEAR SATURATION IN THE MID-LEVELS TO CREATE A RAIN AND TSTORM THREAT MUCH OF THE DAY. HIGH TEMPS BOTH WED AND THU WERE DERIVED FROM MIXING THE H8 TEMPS OF 15/17 C RESPECTIVELY TO YIELD 86/88. THERMAL PROFILE SHOWS LIFTED INDICES OF -4 AND -6 WED/THU WITH CAPE VALUES 1500 TO 3000 J/KG DURING PEAK HEATING OF THE RESPECTIVE DAYS. WHILE FORCING FOR WED IS RESTRICTED TO LAKE BREEZES, OUTFLOWS, OR THERMAL LOWS...THURS OFFERS THE EASTERN EDGE OF A FRONTAL BOUNDARY LIFTING INTO MICHIGAN WITH MORE OUTFLOWS ALSO POSSIBLE. THE SURFACE REFLECTION OF THE AFORE MENTIONED UPPER TROUGH OVER THE MIDWEST WILL PLOW THROUGH THE REGION FRI THROUGH SAT NIGHT. THE LOW IS LARGE IN SURFACE AREA WITH HIGH COLUMN RH AND RESULTANT PW NEAR 1.50 INCHES. ONCE THE SFC LOW/FRONT MOVES THROUGH EARLY SUN...THE UPPER TROUGH WILL REMAIN IN PLACE IN THE GREAT LAKES. COLD/DRY AIR ADVECTION THROUGH MONDAY WILL LEAD TO A DROP IN TEMPERATURES AND OUR FIRST PROLONGED DRY SPELL IN A WHILE. && .MARINE... SCATTERED TO NUMEROUS SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS WILL TRACK ACROSS THE REGION THROUGH TONIGHT AS A MOIST AND UNSTABLE ENVIRONMENT MOVES IN BEHIND A WARM FRONT. WINDS WILL SHIFT TO SOUTHWESTERLY IN THE WAKE OF THIS FRONT. AMPLE MOISTURE ADVECTION ALONG AND IN THE WAKE OF THE SURFACE FRONT MAY PRODUCE EXTENSIVE FOG OVER THE COLDER OPEN WATERS OF LAKE HURON TONIGHT...POSSIBLY LASTING INTO THE DAY WEDNESDAY. SOUTHERLY WINDS AND PERSISTENT MOIST AND UNSTABLE AIR WILL LEAD TO PERIODIC THUNDERSTORM CHANCES INTO THE WEEKEND. && .AVIATION...ISSUED 156 PM EDT TUE MAY 28 2013 //DISCUSSION... WARM FRONT WILL MAKE GRADUAL PROGRESS NORTHEASTWARD AND ACROSS ALL TERMINALS THROUGH THE LATTER HALF OF THE AFTERNOON. ONGOING THIN SLIGHTLY ELEVATED CONVECTIVE LINE IN THE VICINITY OF PTK/FNT/MBS AT 18Z WILL PULL TO THE EAST OVER THE NEXT HOUR. LATEST RADAR TRENDS PROVIDE LITTLE INDICATION OF A SOUTHERN EXPANSION OF THIS LINE INTO THE DETROIT AREA...WITH THE ATTENDANT FORCING ANCHORING THIS LINE EXPECTED TO REMAIN TO THE NORTH. MVFR PRE-FRONTAL CEILINGS IN LINGERING STRATUS FOR ANOTHER COUPLE OF HOURS...BEFORE A WIND SHIFT TO SOUTHWESTERLY YIELDS BETTER MIXING AND PROGRESSIVE IMPROVEMENT IN CEILINGS HEIGHTS FROM SOUTH TO NORTH. THE POTENTIAL REMAINS FOR ADDITIONAL THUNDERSTORM DEVELOPMENT UPSTREAM TO SPILL EAST-NORTHEAST ALONG THE EDGE OF A GRADUALLY DESTABILIZING ENVIRONMENT CURRENTLY NOSING INTO LOWER MICHIGAN. THIS CONTINUES TO WARRANT A THUNDER MENTION AT ALL BUT MBS...TARGETING THE 21-00Z WINDOW. FOR DTW...ONGOING LINE OF SHOWERS/THUNDERSTORMS WILL REMAIN NORTH OF THE TERMINAL AS IT SHIFTS ACROSS SOUTHEAST MICHIGAN THROUGH 20Z. CONTINUE TO MONITOR TRENDS ACROSS ILLINOIS...WHERE THE POTENTIAL EXISTS FOR ADDITIONAL THUNDERSTORM DEVELOPMENT AND EXPANSION TO COMMENCE. THIS ACTIVITY MAY TEND TO WORK EASTWARD TOWARD THE REGION AFTER 21Z. //DTW THRESHOLD THREATS... * LOW CONFIDENCE IN THUNDERSTORM POTENTIAL AFTER 21Z. * HIGH CONFIDENCE CEILINGS BELOW 5000 FT THIS AFTERNOON.
