    Areas affected...Lower Michigan and far northern Indiana

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

    Valid 310349Z - 310615Z

    Probability of Watch Issuance...40 percent

    SUMMARY...Isolated severe storms mainly capable of hail should
    increase through late evening into the overnight. While the need for
    a Watch is uncertain, short-term trends will continue to be
    monitored.

    DISCUSSION...Thunderstorms have steadily increased through late
    evening across the middle part of Lower Michigan. These storms are
    occurring near/just north of a stationary/slow-moving warm front,
    and should further increase over the next several hours via
    warm/moist advection and isentropic ascent. Additional storm development/persistence may also occur farther south across southern
    Lower Michigan and far northern Indiana via storms that are
    developing across northeast Illinois. Steep mid-level lapse rates
    are steadily advecting eastward across the region, and strong shear
    through the cloud-bearing layer will support some severe
    storms/elevated supercells north of the front. Some damaging wind
    potential may also exist with any storm development or persistence
    into/across the southern half of Lower Michigan and/or far northern
    Indiana, although increasing convective inhibition will tend to be a detrimental factor.
