   Areas affected...northern IN...southern Lower MI...northwest OH

   Concerning...Tornado Watch 434...

   Valid 181938Z - 182145Z

   The severe weather threat for Tornado Watch 434 continues.

   SUMMARY...Northern, fast-moving portion of a QLCS should progress
   across the rest of northern Indiana into southern Lower Michigan and
   northwest Ohio through early evening. Damaging winds should be the
   main threat, but a tornado or two will be possible. Downstream watch
   issuance expected by 21Z.

   DISCUSSION...The northern portion of a QLCS has been steadily
   progressing east around 45 kts with a history of estimated to
   measured gusts of 55-70 mph. This fast-moving portion of the line
   has likely outpaced stronger low-level shear across southwest IN,
   per comparison of VWX and IWX VWP data. Given largely veered surface
   winds downstream and recent HRRR guidance, an outflow-dominated line
   will likely persist as it spreads into southern Lower MI and
   northwest OH through early evening. Damaging winds should remain the
   primary hazard, with a tornado or two possible in any QLCS
   mesovortices across northern IN.
