    Mesoscale Discussion 1489
    NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK
    0129 AM CDT Fri Sep 21 2018

    Areas affected...Coastal areas of northwest Lower MI and southeast
    Upper MI

    Concerning...Severe potential...Watch unlikely

    Valid 210629Z - 210830Z

    Probability of Watch Issuance...5 percent

    SUMMARY...Isolated strong to locally damaging wind gusts will be
    possible during the overnight (between 3-4:30 AM EDT), as a line of
    showers and thunderstorms moves across the coastal areas of
    northwest Lower Michigan to southeast Upper Michigan. Limited
    duration and coverage of this threat precludes the need for a watch.

    DISCUSSION...Trends in mosaic radar imagery showed a line of showers
    and embedded thunderstorms extending from eastern Upper MI to
    northwest Lake Michigan and into extreme northeast WI, with a
    movement to the east-northeast at 40-45 kt. Despite time of day,
    surface temperatures and dew points, east of this convective line,
    including across the discussion area, have been rising. This is
    likely a result of a poleward advection of theta-e, given warmer
    lake temperatures on Lake Michigan at this time of year. Objective
    analyses have indicated some steepening of surface-3 km lapse rates
    and weakening of surface-based inhibition. This suggests that any
    stronger downdrafts accompanying the line of convection and further
    enhanced by a very strong southwesterly low-level jet per VADs at
    MKE/GRB/APX could penetrate the destabilizing boundary layer to
    produce a damaging wind gust.
