[html]MD 1452 CONCERNING SEVERE POTENTIAL...WATCH UNLIKELY FOR WESTERN LOWER MICHIGAN
Mesoscale Discussion 1452
NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK
0733 PM CDT Mon Jul 11 2022
Areas affected...Western Lower Michigan
Concerning...Severe potential...Watch unlikely
Valid 120033Z - 120230Z
Probability of Watch Issuance...20 percent
SUMMARY...Storms moving off Lake Michigan into western lower
Michigan in the co*ing hours may pose an isolated severe wind/hail
risk. A watch is not anticipated given the isolated nature of the
threat.
DISCUSSION...Storms currently moving across Lake Michigan have
maintained convective intensity per lightning counts, MRMS
vertically integrated ice data, and cloud-top temperatures despite
moving over cooler lake waters. This is likely due to weak ascent
along a diffuse front and the eastward advection of the viable warm
sector (which features 1000-1500 J/kg MLCAPE) as well as 40-45 knots
of effective bulk shear, both of which were sampled by regional 00
UTC soundings. This convective environment will likely persist into
the mid (and possibly late) evening hours as an attendant mid-level
wave shifts east/southeast across the Great Lakes region and
continues to augment ascent along the frontal boundary. Prior to
crossing the lake, this activity was responsible for a few wind
damage and marginally severe hail reports across eastern WI, and
should continue to pose a severe hail/wind risk into western MI over
the next few hours. However, given the isolated nature of the
convection (and low probability for a substantial increase in storm
coverage), a watch is not anticipated.
