New Hail Minimum Requirements for Michigan


In Partner with the National Weather Service. The Central Region of the United States has agreed to now only issue Severe Thunderstorm Warning if hail has reached 1.00" In diameter. With also Severe Damaging Winds.

Here is a video explaining this change:

"This is a secure site from the government."

Now basically in lamens terms it means that we will hopefully see less Severe Thunderstorm Warnings. For Example, When a Tornado Warning is issued people usually take it very seriously and take immediate action. Well the NWS thinks that Severe Warnings are issued to frequently and that they should trim them down. Its not a huge change but it does mean that if a Severe Thunderstorm Warning is issued..It means that storm will be packing a little more of a Punch...
