   Concerning...Severe Thunderstorm Watch 416...

   The severe weather threat for Severe Thunderstorm Watch 416
   continues.

   SUMMARY...The severe threat continues across Severe Thunderstorm
   Watch 416. Large hail is the primary threat with the more intense
   storms, but a couple damaging gusts or a tornado also cannot be
   ruled out.

   DISCUSSION...Earlier storms moving onto the Upper MI Peninsula have
   obtained supercell structures within the last hour or so, with
   mainly small hail reported. KMQT and MRMS mosaic radar data show
   these storms continuing to intensify, with severe MESH and
   appreciable low- and mid-level rotation becoming more evident.
   Modified RAP forecast soundings depict relatively moist low level
   overspread by 8-9 C/km 700-500 mb lapse rates, contributing to
   1500-2000 J/kg MLCAPE. In addition to this moderate buoyancy,
   strengthening and veering vertical wind profiles are resulting in
   50-70 kts of effective bulk shear, favoring continued storm
   organization/strengthening. Large hail will remain a concern with
   the stronger storms through the early evening hours. Downstream of
   the storms, greater low-level shear is present, with RAP forecast
   soundings and APX VWPs showing relatively large, curved 0-3 km
   hodographs. 23Z mesoanalysis shows over 200 m2/s2 effective SRH
   across central and eastern parts of the Upper MI Peninsula. As such,
   a tornado cannot be ruled out with the more discrete, inflow
   dominant supercells this evening.
