What happened
The episode as NWS DTX wrote it up.
The warm and humid weather continued across the region. In fact, warm air aloft prevented thunderstorms from developing across most of southeast Michigan. However, thunderstorms did develop in western lower Michigan along the Lake Michigan lake breeze front in the afternoon. These storms moved northeast, reaching Midland County very late in the afternoon. Damaging wind gusts affected much of the county, which had been hit hard by severe thunderstorms the previous night. Large tree limbs were downed, mainly in a swath near US 10 from Sanford to just north of Midland.
