areas affected...srn lower mi...nrn indiana...nwrn oh

concerning...severe potential...watch possible

valid 180551z - 180745z

probability of watch issuance...40 percent

summary...a few damaging wind gusts are possible tonight...and the
area is being monitored for a watch...conditional on further storm
organization.

discussion...several clusters of storms have gradually increased in
coverage over the past hour with cooling tops on ir imagery. most
recently...development has increased over swrn lower mi...near a
confluence line and also on the srn periphery of the upper shortwave
trough influence. the grr and dtx vwps show 30-40 kt winds in the
lower part of the troposphere and the instability axis extends newd
into lower mi. this setup may support a damaging wind threat if the
activity upstream can produce a substantial cold pool. any hail
threat should be marginal.
