Hear tornado sirens? Evening severe weather prompts short warnings in Kent, Allegan & Barry counties

The National Weather Service issued a tornado warning for a tiny portion of Kent County, as well as sections of Allegan and Barry counties briefly this evening.

ALLEGAN COUNTY, Mich — While West Michigan was experiencing some thunderstorms Tuesday evening the National Weather Service briefly issued a tornado warning for Allegan and Barry counties.

Those have since been canceled. 

Sirens also went off in Kent County. However, only a small portion of Southern Kent County was in the path. 

13 ON YOUR SIDE's Chief Meteorologist George Lessens said he thinks adding Kent County to the warning was a mistake.

The warning in Kent County only lasted three minutes.

At 9:38 p.m., the National Weather Service issued a tornado warning for northeastern Allegan and northwestern Barry Counties.

The warning said that at 9:35 p.m., a severe thunderstorm capable of producing a tornado was located near Middleville, or 14 miles west of Hastings, moving East at 35 mph.

At 9:48 p.m., the NWS said the storm weakened and canceled the tornado warning. 

Many 13 ON YOUR SIDE viewers shared photos of hail or stormy skies throughout Tuesday's weather.
