Whitmer pushes federal probe into missing tornado watch before Michigan tornadoes

Michigan Gov. Gretchen Whitmer called for a federal investigation into why no tornado watch was issued before a deadly southwest Michigan outbreak, suggesting that federal funding cuts to the National Weather Service may have contributed. Forecasters said the event was highly localized, making a watch difficult to issue in advance, while warnings were later issued as reports came in from Edwardsburg, Union Lake/Union City, Three Rivers and surrounding areas. The storms produced multiple tornadoes (EF0–EF3) and four deaths, with extensive damage and injuries reported.
