Areas affected...portions of eastern Lower MI

Concerning...Severe potential...Watch unlikely=20

Valid 120016Z - 120145Z

Probability of Watch Issuance...20 percent

SUMMARY...Isolated strong to severe storms may continue for a couple
more hours with a risk for damaging gusts and a brief tornado.
Convective trends will be monitored for a weather watch, but
uncertainty remains high.

DISCUSSION...Over the last hour, storms have slowly intensified near
a frontal zone in the wake of previous convection. The air mass has
slowly modified but remains partially capped with 500-1000 J/kg of
MLCAPE now evident on SPC mesoanalysis and the 00z DTX sounding.
Mid-level flow has also increased slightly over the last hour with
deep-layer shear now reaching 30-35 kt. Sufficient buoyancy and
vertical shear exist to support a brief uptick in severe risk across
parts of eastern lower MI. Semi-discrete mode may support transient
supercells with occasional low-level rotation. The primary hazard
should remain damaging wind gusts, but backed low-level winds may
support a risk for a brief tornado with the more organized storms.
Convection will gradually encounter a more hostile air mass farther
east where temperatures are cooler and low-level inhibition is
higher. The loss of diurnal heating also suggests a gradual
downtrend in intensity is likely soon. Conditions will be monitored,
but confidence in the longevity of the severe risk is low.
