Areas affected...Southeastern Lower Michigan
Concerning...Severe Thunderstorm Watch 522...
Valid 201851Z - 202015Z
The severe weather threat for Severe Thunderstorm Watch 522
continues.
SUMMARY...The risk of severe winds and isolated large hail is
spreading east-southeastward into southeastern Lower Michigan this
afternoon.
DISCUSSION...Latest radar data from KDTX shows a
northeast-southwest-oriented QLCS tracking east-southeastward at
around 40 kt across southeastern Lower Michigan -- with additional
supercell development immediately ahead of the line. Continued
diurnal destabilization across the pre-convective environment
(characterized by increasingly agitated HCRs) will support the
maintenance of the line given around 45 kt of 0-6 km shear oriented
oblique to the gust front (per KDTX VWP). Severe gusts up to 70 mph
are the main concern, though isolated large hail is possible with
the leading supercells and where breaks in the convective line
occur. Additionally, VWP data shows modest low-level hodograph
curvature (around 200 m2/s2 0-2 km SRH) which could support embedded
rotating updrafts and a non-zero tornado risk.
