National Weather Service issues tornado warning for Tuscola county

Michigan was hit by a round of storms that already sparked one tornado warning Monday with sky watchers on alert for the rest of the day.

The National Weather Service issued a tornado warning for parts of Tuscola county Monday afternoon.

The warning, based on radar activity, expired at 3 p.m., said meteorologist Alex Manion. The warning includes Cass City, Caro, Mayville and Kingston.

"It's always good to be weather aware anyone that's inside of tornado warning should take shelter immediately," Manion said. "Anyone that is east of the current warning should be weather aware and either be looking at the local news or their weather radio for additional information as it comes."

As of 2:30 p.m., there have been no confirmed reports of a tornado that touched down, he said.

The weather service declared a severe thunderstorm warning including Sandusky, Marlette and Deckerville just before 3 p.m.
