| episode_narrative | A weakening cold front stretched from northern Wisconsin to central lower Michigan. A cluster of thunderstorms developed in northwest Wisconsin during the early morning hours. These storms moved southeast along the cold front, crossing Lake Michigan by early afternoon. Abundant sunshine allowed the atmosphere to become very unstable in southeast Michigan, and the storms pulsed to severe levels as they crossed the Saginaw Valley during the afternoon and early evening hours.Quarter sized hail was reported in Midland and Saginaw Counties. A county sheriff reported 58 mph winds near Bay City. Along Corunna Road (M-21) in Flint Township, power lines were downed, and a construction trailer was moved off of its foundation.Training of thunderstorms produced some marginal flash flooding in and just west of the city of Saginaw. Up to three inches of rain fell in this area in less than two hours. Numerous underpasses and several city streets were flooded as a result. |
