Overview

A large upper level low moving through the Upper Great Lakes region brought a finger of the northern jet streak through the region that coupled with a low level jet filtered through the warm air over the lake and caused damaging winds along the lakeshore. Buoys and observations stations in and along Lake Michigan had wind reports upwards of 62 mph. This caused power outages along the lakeshore and just inland as the storms moved souteasterly through southwest Michigan.
