    Mesoscale Discussion 1501

    Areas affected...Lower Michigan...northwest Ohio...Indiana...east
    central Illinois

    Concerning...Severe potential...Watch possible

    Valid 252221Z - 260015Z

    Probability of Watch Issuance...40 percent

    SUMMARY...Thunderstorm activity will spread into, and continue to
    develop across, much of the region into the 8-11 PM EDT time frame,
    accompanied by at least some risk for severe wind gusts. It is not
    yet clear that this will require an additional severe weather watch,
    but trends are being monitored for this possibility.

    DISCUSSION...Thunderstorms are beginning to initiate in the warm
    sector, across parts of lower Michigan southwestward across Indiana
    into east central Illinois. This is ahead of the forced line of
    storms now spreading into/through the Interstate 55 corridor of
    northeast and central Illinois.

    The northwestern periphery of richer boundary layer moisture return, characterized by dew points around 70, currently extends along the
    Interstate 70 corridor of central Illinois into Indiana, and
    northward, roughly near and east of the Interstate 69 corridor
    across central Indiana into northwestern Ohio/southeastern lower
    Michigan. This moisture, coupled with daytime heating, appears to
    be contributing to CAPE on the order of 1000-2000 J/kg. This is in
    the presence of generally strong deep layer shear beneath 40-50
    southwesterly mid-level flow.

    Pre-frontal low-level wind fields are somewhat weak and veered
    resulting in generally modest low-level hodographs across much of
    the region. This may be at least one mitigating factor to a more
    substantive severe weather risk into the 01-03Z time frame.
    However, in the lingering moderate boundary layer instability, the
    environment may remain conducive to convection capable of at least
    producing localized potentially damaging wind gusts and perhaps some
    hail into/through the evening hours.
