The primary risks include damaging winds, downed trees, and power outages, particularly in areas near and south of I-94. Counties along the Michigan-Indiana border, such as Berrien, Cass, St. Joseph, and Branch, are under a Severe Thunderstorm Watch. Northern Indiana faces a heightened risk of stronger wind gusts, up to 85 mph (137 km/h). Residents in these areas should remain vigilant as the storms could cause localized damage and power disruptions.
