Special Statement



... Significant weather advisory...

At 1218 PM... showers and thunderstorms were developing along and
south of a warm front from near Muskegon to Mount Pleasant. Movement
was north at around 25 mph.

In addition locally a half inch of rain could accompany the
heavier showers and storms. This could lead to urban and poor
drainage flooding.

While no funnel clouds or tornadoes have been reported at this
time... the meteorological conditions today support the rapid and
sudden development of funnel clouds and even brief weak
tornadoes... which may appear with little or no warning. These may
even occur from just rain showers... without a thunderstorm and
lightning in the vicinity.

If a funnel cloud or tornado is spotted... get inside a sturdy
structure immediately. Please report funnel clouds or tornadoes to
local law enforcement for relay to the National Weather Service.
