Record number

None yet. SPC numbers 2026 in the spring of 2027.

updated track based on new information

Written by NWS GRR in the NWS Damage Assessment Toolkit. A survey is revised as better evidence arrives.

16 damage points were recorded along this path by NWS GRR, in the Damage Assessment Toolkit the survey teams carry. The strongest indicator was rated EF0. The highest wind the damage implies is 85 mph.

• Occurred just prior to tornado touchdown
• Ring camera facing westward showed debris blowing northward with the tornado.
• Estimated touchdown point based on reports.
• Additional tree damage occurred in a relatively exposed area on the downwind side of a small lake right after the tornado dissipated.

Survey points are preliminary and are the raw material the published rating was built from. Source: NWS Damage Assessment Toolkit.

Severe weather occurred across west Michigan with 2 tornadoes causing damage.

This EF-0 tornado had maximum estimated winds of 75 mph and a path of around 2.9 miles. A brief tornado developed north of Bowens Mill Road between N |Yankee Springs Road and N Peets Road. The tornado crossed N Peets |Road, producing tree damage consistent with 60 to 70 mph winds. |The most intense damage was observed along N Whitmore Road where |tree damage was more extensive and a house was covered by falling |branches. The tornado dissipated prior to crossing N Irving Road. |A concentrated area of straight line winds in excess of 60 mph |caused sporadic damage from N Irving Road all the way into Hastings.

From NOAA NCEI's Storm Events Database, the narrative the local forecast office wrote for Storm Data.

Ratings are the survey's, read off the damage rather than measured; the rating scale is above. A survey can be revised, so the rating, the path and the casualties can all still change.

NWS Damage Assessment Toolkit, the record the survey teams file from the damage, and NOAA Storm Prediction Center storm reports. Neither is the official database for 2026, which SPC publishes in the spring of 2027.
