A severe thunderstorm has developed south of Jackson and will hit Ann Arbor around 5:00-5:10pm. The storm is currently producing 40+mph wind gusts and 1/2″ hail. It is south of Grass Lake, over Napoleon, right now.

The storm is severe-warned in Jackson County until 5pm. It may or may not be classified severe by the time it hits Ann Arbor; I don’t know how much it might dissipate before then. But I do expect to see a decent thunderstorm downtown shortly after 5pm.

I will mostly be providing updates on Twitter (@ArborWX) today.
