How many tornadoes have touched down in Michigan in the month of June?

Are we on a streak for a record low of tornadoes this March in 2015?

Quite possibly. As of March 20, 2015 not a single tornado has been reported in the United States in March. Only once since record began in 1960 have there been no recorded tornadoes for the first three weeks of March: 1969. Even then, this was before we had our current radar system, so a few small tornadoes may have evaded detection. The official record low for tornadoes in March is 6 tornadoes in 1951. Again, there is a good chance that there were other tornadoes that evaded detection. The Storm Prediction Center shows some potential for severe weather for March 21 and 24, but this does not guarantee tornadoes.
