SEVERE WEATHER UPDATE #3 2:19 PM EST

We continue to watch severe storms capable of producing tornadoes tracking east.  They have for the most part exited Illinois and are out over Lake Michigan.  Have a look at the radar showing some garden variety showers and storms developing over the blog area:

At this point, nothing to worry about with these guys except getting wet.  It's a different story off to the west though!

A High Wind Warning and PDS Tornado Watch continue for the entire lower two-thirds of Michigan.  We'll keep you posted.
