areas affected...portions of southern lower mi
concerning...severe thunderstorm watch 28...
valid 142322z - 150045z
the severe weather threat for severe thunderstorm watch 28
continues.
summary...severe threat should be maximized over a small part of
southern lower mi over the next hour or so. a strong to damaging
wind and isolated tornado threat continues.
discussion...although thunderstorms have remained low-topped across
southern lower mi over the past hour, at least one tds has been
observed with a rotational velocity couplet in shiawassee county.
mlcape remains weak, generally in the 250-500 j/kg range, but this
is apparently sufficient to support surface-based thunderstorms with
both a damaging wind an isolated tornado threat. a strongly veering
wind profile in the 0-1 km layer per kdtx vwp is supporting updraft
rotation, with effective srh of 350-400+ m2/s2 estimated from 23z
mesoanalysis. another low-topped supercell has developed ahead of
the broken line of thunderstorms, and given the degree of low-level
shear, an isolated tornado could occur in the next hour or so.
beyond 01z (9 pm edt), instability should weaken further, and the
overall severe threat should gradually diminish.
