Armada, MI Warnings, Watches and Advisories

When a severe thunderstorm warning is issued, the storm may produce damaging winds, large hail, dangerous lightning, and heavy rain. In some cases, heavy rainfall produced by a severe storm can also lead to flash flooding. Do not drive vehicles through flooded areas. The water depth or fast flowing water/mud/debris from a flash flood will make road conditions unsafe. Do not rely soley on data presented here or other third-party websites - always check your official national and local weather service agency website, socials, radio and/or TV stations for making critical decisions related to weather events.

Please carefully read each posted Warning and Alert as it relates to the area(s) being affected. We may provide a wider range of issued severe weather warnings for surrounding cities and counties, so some alerts may not directly impact this location. This is done to help with preparing for severe weather that may overlap or be heading towards Armada.

Air Quality Alert issued July 19 at 2:45PM EDT by NWS Grand Rapids MI

The Michigan Department of Environment, Great Lakes, and Energy (EGLE) has issued an Air Quality Alert through Monday, July 20, 2026, for elevated levels of fine particulate due to wildfire smoke. Concentrations in the Lower Peninsula will be Unhealthy for Sensitive Groups. This is a Statewide Air Quality Alert. Another smoke plume has settled over the region due to wildfires in Canada. Fine particulate pollution is expected to continue into Monday; however, levels will improve during the day as winds shift to a southerly direction. With smoke lingering across the state, ozone also has the potential to increase quickly. It is recommended that, when possible, you avoid strenuous outdoor activities, especially those with heart disease and respiratory conditions like asthma. Watch for symptoms including wheezing, coughing, chest tightness, dizziness, or burning in nose, throat, and eyes. You can help reduce air pollution by limiting activities, such as: - outdoor burning, - use of residential wood burning devices. Tips for households: - Keep windows closed overnight to prevent smoke from getting indoors and, if possible, run central air conditioning with MERV-13 or higher rated filters.
