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.

Midwest Braces for Severe Storms and Tornado Threat

A Tornado Watch has been issued for parts of the Midwest, including Kansas City, as severe storms threaten the region with very large hail, destructive wind gusts, and a few tornadoes.

The severe weather ingredients are lining up to produce the greatest chance of supercells capable of spawning tornadoes, and the threat will shift to the southern Great Lakes and the Ohio Valley on Wednesday.
