List of active weather alerts as severe weather moves through Southeast Michigan

Key Points:

• The National Weather Service has extended a tornado watch until 2 a.m. Friday for eight counties in southeast Michigan, including Lapeer, Lenawee, Macomb, Monroe, Oakland, St. Clair, Washtenaw, and Wayne, due to ongoing severe thunderstorms capable of producing damaging winds, large hail, and possible tornadoes.
• Residents in affected areas such as Ann Arbor, Dearborn, Livonia, and Troy are urged to stay alert, monitor weather updates, and be prepared to seek shelter quickly if tornado warnings are issued; a tornado watch indicates favorable conditions for tornado development but does not mean a tornado has been spotted.
• A severe thunderstorm warning is in effect until 11:15 p.m. for Livingston and Genesee counties as a fast-moving line of storms with wind gusts up to 60 mph and possible tornadoes moves through, threatening damage to roofs, siding, and trees.
• The storm path includes multiple communities such as Laingsburg, Owosso, Howell, and Brighton, with potential for small hail up to three-quarters of an inch in diameter; residents are advised to identify safe shelter locations, preferably basements or interior rooms on the lowest floor.
• Emergency officials emphasize the importance of having multiple ways to receive weather warnings and staying vigilant through the overnight hours as the National Weather Service continues to monitor and update alerts for the region.
