    Areas affected...central/southern Lower MI into far northeast
    IN/northwest OH

    Concerning...Severe potential...Watch possible=20

    Valid 111914Z - 112115Z

    Probability of Watch Issuance...40 percent

    SUMMARY...Thunderstorm activity is expected to increase over the
    next couple of hours. An isolated severe thunderstorm may develop by
    late afternoon and the area is being monitored for possible watch
    issuance.

    DISCUSSION...A warm front, currently draped northwest to southeast
    across central/southern Lower MI will continue to slowly lift north
    through the afternoon. Cloud cover through early afternoon has muted
    surface heating, with temperatures generally in the mid/upper 70s F.
    However, dewpoints within the warm sector to the south of the front
    have climbed into the upper 60s to near 70 F. This is contributing
    to MLCAPE values around 1000-1500 J/kg. Low-level convergence and
    some large-scale support from a passing shortwave impulse should
    support increasing thunderstorm development over the next couple of
    hours. Vertically veering wind profiles and 30-40 kt midlevel
    southwesterlies are contributing to effective shear magnitudes up to
    35 kt. This environment should support isolated organized storms
    capable of damaging gusts. Midlevel lapse rate will remain modest,
    but elongated hodographs suggest marginal hail also may occur on a
    sporadic basis. Timing and coverage of severe storms remains
    somewhat uncertain, and this area is being monitored for a possible
    severe thunderstorm watch this afternoon.
