Severe weather alert for Michigan and tri-state area.

A tornado watch has been issued for much of Michigan until 4 p.m. Wednesday by the National Weather Service, with a second window for storms from 6-9 p.m. Along with the threat of a tornado comes the possibility of airport flight delays, power outages, and flooding. Better safe than sorry, it is better to be prepared and cautious than to unnecessarily put yourself in harm's way.
