    Areas affected...Portions of Lower Michigan

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

    Valid 030026Z - 030230Z

    Probability of Watch Issuance...40 percent

    SUMMARY...Thunderstorms should increase in coverage across portions
    of Lower Michigan during the next few hours. The primary concern
    would be isolated severe hail, though locally damaging gusts cannot
    be entirely ruled out.

    DISCUSSION...The latest VWP data from DTX/GRR shows a strengthening
    low-level jet and associated warm advection overspreading Lower MI
    -- to the north of an east/west-oriented warm front across northern
    IN/OH. This will favor an increase in thunderstorm coverage over the
    next few hours. The DTX 00Z soundings sampled an environment
    marginally supportive of elevated supercell structures embedded
    within increasing stratiform rain (around 55 kt of effective shear).
    However, marginal elevated buoyancy (880 J/kg MUCAPE) may limit
    updraft intensity to an extent. Nevertheless, the risk of isolated
    severe hail (around 1 inch) should increase during the next few
    hours, and locally damaging winds cannot be entirely ruled out with
    any established supercells -- especially farther south closer to the
    warm front.
