| episode_narrative | A strong cold front moving across the Great Lakes region collided with warm, moist, and unstable air across the southern Lower Peninsula on Friday afternoon, September 19, 1997. Thunderstorms developed ahead of the cold front. One mini supercell formed over Lake Michigan shortly after Noon EDT, then moved across Ottawa and Kent Counties before dissipating. The supercell produced hail up to 1 1/2" in diameter and yielded many reports of a rotating wall cloud, however no funnel clouds were reported. Later in the afternoon, a line of severe thunderstorms moved across southwest and south central Lower Michigan, producing wind gusts to 70 mph and small hail. Trees and power lines were downed in a line from Allegan County east-southeast through Jackson County. Around 10,000 customers in this swath lost power, nearly half of which occurred in Jackson County. |
