4Warn Weather – The National Weather Service has extended a tornado watch for eight counties in southeast Michigan as strong storms continue to move across the region Thursday night.

The watch remains in effect until 2 a.m. Friday and includes Lapeer, Lenawee, Macomb, Monroe, Oakland, St. Clair, Washtenaw, and Wayne counties.

The extension comes as severe thunderstorms capable of producing damaging winds, large hail, and possible tornadoes track through portions of southeastern Michigan.

Residents in communities including Adrian, Ann Arbor, Canton, Dearborn, Ferndale, Imlay City, Lapeer, Livonia, Monroe, Novi, Pontiac, Port Huron, Redford, Royal Oak, Southfield, St. Clair Shores, Sterling Heights, Taylor, Troy, Warren, Waterford, and Westland are urged to remain weather-aware overnight.

A tornado watch means atmospheric conditions are favorable for the development of tornadoes and severe thunderstorms. It does not mean a tornado has been spotted.

Forecasters advise residents to monitor weather alerts, have multiple ways to receive warnings, and be prepared to seek shelter quickly if a tornado warning is issued.

The watch was issued amid a broader severe weather threat affecting much of lower Michigan, with storms capable of producing damaging wind gusts and isolated tornadoes.

Emergency officials recommend identifying a safe shelter location in advance, preferably a basement or an interior room on the lowest floor of a sturdy building, away from windows.

The National Weather Service will continue to monitor storm development and issue additional warnings as necessary through the overnight hours.
