TODAY IN SOUTHEAST MICHIGAN WEATHER HISTORY: On October 18, 2007, a strong and potent storm in the Upper Great Lakes drove a cold front through Lower Michigan during the evening and overnight hours on October 18th and 19th. The atmosphere ahead of the cold front was very warm, moist, and unstable. These conditions combined with the strong storm to produce a late-season and late-night tornado outbreak. Five tornadoes were confirmed in Southeast Michigan in Shiawassee (EF1 near Perry), Genesee (EF0 in Thetford Township), Tuscola (two EF1s near Millington and near Deford), and Huron (EF1 near Port Hope) Counties. Only a couple of minor injuries were reported. Total property damages were estimated around $1.5M. Also on October 18, 1952, the overnight temperature dropped to 22 degrees in Flint, which is the record low temperature for the day. Curiously enough, the very next year, 1953, the daytime temperature rose to 82 degrees, setting the record high temperature for the day! (Courtesy of the National Weather Service)
