    Areas affected...portions of central into northern Lower Michigan

    Concerning...Severe potential...Watch unlikely=20

    Valid 190145Z - 190315Z

    Probability of Watch Issuance...20 percent

    SUMMARY...A couple instances of hail (some perhaps exceeding 1 inch
    in diameter) are possible with the stronger, longer-lived storms
    through the evening hours.

    DISCUSSION...Thunderstorms continue to gradually increase in
    coverage and intensity within a low-level warm-air advection regime,
    north of the warm sector. The 00Z APX observed sounding depicts a
    thin but long CAPE profile above 700 mb, with 8 C/km mid-level lapse
    rates supporting near 1000 J/kg MUCAPE. The observed hodograph above
    700 mb is elongated and straight, indicating strong speed shear in
    the mid-levels of the troposphere. As such, hail is possible with
    some of the stronger storms. The narrow constriction of CAPE in the
    buoyant layer suggests that maximum hail size may also be relatively
    limited, but may still exceed marginally severe thresholds in spots. Nonetheless, given the expected isolated nature of the severe hail
    threat, a WW issuance is not expected.
