Severe storms that could potentially produce a tornado are moving through Michigan.
Southeast Barry County and Eaton County are under a severe thunderstorm warning through 9:15 p.m. while nine counties in southwest Michigan are under a tornado watch until 11 p.m.
“Flying debris will be dangerous to those caught without shelter,” the NWS said. “Mobile homes will be damaged or destroyed. Damage to roofs, windows, and vehicles will occur. Tree damage is likely.”
The agency issued tornado warnings for parts of Kalamazoo and Calhoun counties, but those warnings have expired.
The storm system moving into southwest Michigan is bringing winds with gust up to 70 mph and a low chance for an isolated tornado west of U.S.-23.
The storm also could bring hail measuring a half-inch in diameter and brief, heavy downpours of rain. Minor flooding is possible in areas with poor drainage.
