Scattered damaging winds and isolated large hail are still possible impacts we could see as a line of strong thunderstorms continues to move across Michigan entering our neighborhoods as of 7 PM. We also can't rule out the chance to see an isolated tornado or tornado warning. We will be watching closely.
