    Mesoscale Discussion 1333
    NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK
    1247 PM CDT Wed Jun 19 2024

    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.
