Mesoscale Discussion 2131
NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK
0326 PM CDT Sun Oct 06 2024

Areas affected...eastern Great Lakes

Concerning...Severe potential...Severe Thunderstorm Watch likely 

Valid 062026Z - 062200Z

Probability of Watch Issuance...80 percent

SUMMARY...Damaging gusts, a few instances of large hail, and perhaps
a tornado are expected this afternoon across parts of the eastern
Great Lakes. A watch will likely be needed in the next hour or two.

DISCUSSION...A band of deepening convection is evident across parts
of northeast Ohio and southern Ontario near a surface cold front and
a cyclonically curved mid-level jet. These features should provide
lift for continued convective development as the afternoon
progresses. Heating has warmed parts of the area into the upper 70s
to low 80s, and continued moist advection has increased dewpoints
into the upper 50s, resulting in 1000-2000 J/kg SBCAPE per
Mesoanalysis and a 20Z sounding from PBZ. The impinging mid-level
jet results in 35-45 kts of effective bulk shear, which ought to be
sufficient for supercells with the initial development. Given a
supercellular mode and 7.7 C/km 2-6 km max lapse rates on the 20Z
PBZ sounding, some hail is possible early. A tornado is also
possible given 150 m2/s2 0-1 km SRH, though this may be mitigated by
higher LCLs, especially across eastern Ohio. In addition, storms may
be undercut by the cold front, which is expected to lead to upscale
growth into linear segments with time. Once this transition occurs,
given strong low-level flow, damaging gusts will beco*e the primary
threat as storms move to the east. The eastward extend of the severe
threat may be mitigated by the narrow plume of moist air co*bined
with loss of daytime heating this evening.
