Areas affected...Southeast lower Michigan
Concerning...Severe Thunderstorm Watch 665...
Valid 302251Z - 310045Z
The severe weather threat for Severe Thunderstorm Watch 665
continues.
SUMMARY...The threat for severe wind and hail should persist for the
next 2 to 2.5 hours across southeastern Lower Michigan. The greatest
severe wind risk may reside along and north of I-65 during this
period.
DISCUSSION...c*nvection continues to develop along a cold front
across lower MI. Overall intensification has been somewhat gradual,
likely owing to somewhat meager large-scale ascent over the region.
However, KDTX VWP observations have shown a slight strengthening of
mid-level flow over the past 30-60 minutes with 0-6 km bulk shear
values increasing closer to 30 knots at times. Additionally, GOES
1-minute imagery shows several strong updraft pulses along the line,
indicating that the potential for organized convection persists.
Confidence in the coverage of robust convection remains limited
given the aforementioned weak forcing for ascent and recent
convective trends, but a few severe storms with an attendant
hail/severe wind risk remain possible as the cold front continues to
push east (especially along and north of I-65 where convection is
co*paratively more intense based on IR and lightning trends). Latest
timing guidance suggests that this activity should exit southeastern
lower MI within the next 2-3 hours.
