    Mesoscale Discussion 1164
    NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK
    1221 PM CDT Thu Jul 26 2018

    Areas affected...Portions of southeastern MI...northeastern IN...and
    northern OH

    Concerning...Severe potential...Watch possible

    Valid 261721Z - 261915Z

    Probability of Watch Issuance...40 percent

    SUMMARY...Scattered thunderstorms will continue to develop in the
    next few hours and could pose a threat for some wind damage,
    although the severity and coverage of the threat may not be large
    enough to need a Severe Thunderstorm Watch.

    DISCUSSION...Forcing for ascent with a mid-level speed max, a weak
    vorticity center, and a cold front is currently maximized over
    southeastern MI where thunderstorms continue to increase in
    coverage. The strength of the forcing decreases substantially with southwestward extent along the front, but should be sufficient to
    initiate additional thunderstorms into northeastern IN through early
    afternoon.

    While weak mid-level lapse rates and modest low-level wind speeds
    will limit the severity and coverage of the threat, steep low-level
    lapse rates, a moist boundary layer, and DCAPEs of 900-1200 J/kg
    will contribute to enough instability/downdrafts to support some
    damage with 45-50 kt surface wind gusts, especially those that can
    transfer momentum from the stronger mid-level wind speeds that will
    overspread the area later in the afternoon. A Severe Thunderstorm
    Watch may be needed but uncertainty in the severity and coverage of
    the threat is currently large enough to assign a 40% likelihood at
    this time.
