Areas affected...portions of northeast Indiana...southern Lower
Michigan and northern Ohio
Concerning...Severe potential...Watch possible=20
Valid 191747Z - 191915Z
Probability of Watch Issuance...40 percent
SUMMARY...Scattered thunderstorms are expected this afternoon with
the potential for some clustering. Damaging gusts and isolated hail
are possible and a WW is being considered.
DISCUSSION...As of 1740 UTC, early afternoon visible satellite
imagery showed initial updrafts were deepening across parts of
eastern IN and northwestern OH along the western edge of a strong
east coast ridge. Intermixed with scattered high clouds, strong
diurnal heating is ongoing along a subtle confluence axis aiding in
further vertical development. Observational trends and hi-res
guidance suggest scattered storm development is likely over the next
couple of hours as convective temperatures are breached and
remaining inhibition is removed. 70s F surface dewpoints and steep
low-level lapse rates are supporting moderate buoyancy (1500-2500
J/kg of MLCAPE) more than adequate for strong updrafts. Area VADs
show a slight enhancement of mid-level flow along the periphery of
the broad ridge over the eastern US. While not overly strong, bulk
shear values of 20-25 kt should be sufficient for sustained
multi-cells with some potential for clustering. Drier mid-level air
and steep low-level lapse rates will be favorable for a few more
robust downdrafts capable of damaging severe gusts. A few instances
of marginally severe hail are also possible with the longer lived
and deeper updrafts given the relatively large buoyancy and somewhat
enhanced vertical shear. With the potential for some stronger
clusters of storms to develop and persist, a severe thunderstorm
watch may be needed this afternoon for portions of OH, IN and Lower
MI.
