    Areas affected...portions of northern Wisconsin into western Upper
    Michigan

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

    Valid 051938Z - 052115Z

    Probability of Watch Issuance...20 percent

    SUMMARY...Some increase in the potential for damaging wind gusts is
    possible this afternoon as storms evolve eastward across northern
    Wisconsin and western Upper Michigan. Small to marginally severe
    hail also remains possible with any stronger storms.

    DISCUSSION...Ongoing convection just east of the WI/MN border has
    shown some signs of upscale growth into a bowing segment/cluster
    along an outflow boundary over the past hour. Additional
    thunderstorm development is also noted along an east-west oriented
    lake breeze inland of the southern shore of Lake Superior. While
    this convection has largely remained sub-severe through 1930 UTC,
    producing a report of pea sized hail and a measured gust of 48 mph,
    steepening low-level lapse rates and increasing buoyancy amid
    continued diurnal heating (per latest mesoanalysis) may support some
    increase in the potential for damaging wind gusts through this
    afternoon as this cluster progresses eastward. Small to marginally
    severe hail also remains possible with the most robust cores even
    though mid-level lapse rates weaken with eastward extent.

    Despite the increasing thunderstorm coverage and potential for an
    uptick in damaging wind potential, weak effective shear (20-25 kts
    or less) is expected to largely temper storm organization and
    severity. Thus, watch issuance remains unlikely at this time.
