Built for residents, journalists, and local businesses who need an at-a-glance picture of what's happening across the state right now.
Active NWS weather alerts and FEMA disaster declarations across Michigan, regional NWS forecasts for 12 cities, real-time AQI readings, wildfire status from NIFC, and NOAA space-weather indicators that feed the live ticker at the top of the page.
Live MDOT road incidents, 911 dispatch intel filtered by category, aircraft over Michigan airspace from OpenSky, airport status, county road-commission projects, border-crossing wait times, and global supply-chain bottlenecks affecting Great Lakes shipping.
Great Lakes water levels and surface temperatures from NOAA-GLERL, EPA AQI monitors, USGS flood gauges across Michigan watersheds, and recent earthquakes from the USGS feed for the Midwest.
Source: FBI Crime Data Explorer aggregating Michigan Incident Crime Reporting (MICR) submissions from local police agencies via the National Incident-Based Reporting System (NIBRS).
Units: Rate per 100,000 Michigan residents. Lower is better. Year-over-year compares the trailing 12-month average to the prior 12-month average.
Reporting lag: NIBRS submissions trickle in over 60–90 days. Months whose rate is below 80% of the same calendar month one year prior are auto-trimmed to avoid showing partial-data noise.
