    Areas affected...Southern lower MI into extreme northern
    IN/northwest OH

    Concerning...Severe potential...Watch possible=20

    Valid 061131Z - 061330Z

    Probability of Watch Issuance...40 percent

    SUMMARY...The severe-thunderstorm threat may increase with time this
    morning.

    DISCUSSION...A long-lived storm cluster that produced a couple of
    small bowing segments earlier this morning has evolved into a pair
    of semi-discrete storms over southern Lake Michigan, with some
    midlevel rotation and supercell characteristics noted over the last
    30-60 minutes. Persistent low-level warm advection and ascent
    attendant to the convectively enhanced shortwave trough moving
    across the Great Lakes will support maintenance of these storms
    through the morning. MUCAPE of 500-1000 J/kg and favorable effective
    shear (generally greater than 40 kt) will continue to support
    organized storm structures.=20

    The ongoing storms are likely somewhat elevated, which renders the
    short-term severe threat uncertain. Locally damaging gusts could
    accompany these storms as they move into southwest lower MI, along
    with some nonzero hail potential. With favorable low-level shear/SRH
    in place, a brief tornado cannot be ruled out later this morning
    along the southern portion of the storm cluster, especially if any
    notable diurnal heating/destabilization can occur near an
    outflow-reinforced front. While the short-term threat may remain
    rather marginal and isolated, watch issuance will become possible if
    any uptick in storm organization and intensity is noted through mid
    morning.
