Yet another amazing storm in the region... quite impressive for early April.

Here is a current supercell over northeastern Lower Michigan that is tornado warned. It peaked at 80dbz just five minutes ago. You can see southwestern Bruce County in the bottom right corner with Tiverton and Port Elgin. It will be interesting to watch how the lake will affect this supercell.

That white diamond is a 4.26" (10cm) hail marker, though only quarter size hail has been reported so far.
