   ...THERE IS A MODERATE RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS THIS AFTERNOON
   FOR SOUTHEAST LOWER MI...EXTREME NORTHEAST IN...AND NORTHWEST OH...

   ...SUMMARY...
   Widespread severe thunderstorms are expected across portions of the
   Midwest and Ohio Valley today and tonight. Damaging thunderstorm
   wind gusts are the main threat, although a few tornadoes and severe
   hail are also possible.

   ...Great Lakes/OH Valley through this evening...
   Thunderstorm development is already underway over southwest Lower MI
   with clusters/embedded bowing segments likely to persist through the
   afternoon as the storms spread northeastward.  Farther south,
   thunderstorm development is also underway along the initial wind
   shift/convergence boundary across IN, in advance of the midlevel
   trough moving from MO to IL.  A very moist boundary layer (dewpoints
   in the low 70s) is present east of the boundary, where surface
   temperatures are warming well into the 80s as of midday, which is
   resulting in MLCAPE greater than 2000 J/kg with very little
   convective inhibition.  

   Storm coverage/intensity will increase through the afternoon across
   IN/OH and Lower MI in advance of the ejecting midlevel trough and
   surface boundary, and storm development southward into KY is also
   expected.  Deep-layer vertical shear is favorable for both
   supercells and bowing segments, given effective bulk shear of 40-50
   kt.  Hodographs are relatively long but straight, with modest
   low-level shear.  Therefore, fairly widespread damaging winds will
   be the main threat, though a couple of tornadoes and isolated large
   hail will also be possible.  Convection is expected to evolve into
   more of a squall line with time and eastward extent, with the
   damaging-wind threat persisting through late evening/early tonight
   across OH.  The storms could reach WV and western NY/PA before
   weakening overnight.
