    Areas affected...portions of the Upper Peninsula of Michigan

    Concerning...Severe potential...Watch unlikely

    Valid 121750Z - 121945Z

    Probability of Watch Issuance...20 percent

    SUMMARY...Additional thunderstorms will spread across portions of
    the Upper Peninsula of Michigan and northern parts of Lake Michigan
    over the next few hours. Isolated large hail and gusty winds are
    possible with this activity, though watch issuance is unlikely.

    DISCUSSION...Additional thunderstorms have been showing some
    intensification over Lake Superior as they approach central portions
    of the U.P. This activity is occurring within an area of enhanced
    effective shear focused mainly north of the international border.
    Objective analysis indicates weak capping persists across the
    region. However, a weak to moderate MUCAPE gradient is oriented
    across the U.P. and will support continued southward storm
    development. Vertical shear weakens with southward extent so
    stronger/better organized convection may be short-lived, with storms
    gradually weakening as they shift southward across central portions
    of the U.P. before dissipating near northern Lake Michigan. Given
    isolated coverage and small spatial extent of the overall severe
    risk, a watch is not currently expected.
