Areas affected...portions of southern Lower Michigan into
northeastern Indiana and northwestern Ohio

Concerning...Severe potential...Watch unlikely=20

Valid 162033Z - 162130Z

Probability of Watch Issuance...5 percent

SUMMARY...A couple of damaging wind gusts are possible this
afternoon. Coverage of severe should be quite sparse at best, so a
WW issuance is not expected.

DISCUSSION...Multicells have intensified under a cold pocket aloft
associated with a mid-level trough as they overspread a mixed
boundary layer. 20Z mesoanalysis depicts 0-3 km lapse rates reaching
8 C/km ahead of the ongoing storms, which have a history of
producing measured surface gusts up to 40 kts (per AZO ASOS). The
current thinking is that similar gusts may continue with these
storms for at least a couple more hours given the aforementioned
lapse rates. A 50+ kt gust cannot be ruled out. Still, the coverage
of 50+ kt gusts (if any occur) should be too sparse to warrant a WW
issuance.
