   Areas affected...portions of lower Michigan

   Concerning...Severe potential...Watch unlikely 

   Valid 061827Z - 062000Z

   Probability of Watch Issuance...20 percent

   SUMMARY...Scattered storms will be capable of isolated damaging
   gusts this afternoon. Storm organization potential is low, though
   some stronger clusters may emerge. A WW is unlikely.

   DISCUSSION...As of 1830 UTC, satellite and radar imagery showed
   increasing convective development across southern lower MI. This
   initial activity has been slow to intensify along a weak cold front
   and in proximity to typical diurnal lake-induced boundaries. Driven
   largely by strong heating of a moist air mass and weak ascent, this
   trend should continue with scattered to numerous storms developing
   by early afternoon. Moderate buoyancy (1000-2000 J/kg of MLCAPE)
   will support some more robust updrafts with multi-cell storms. Some
   transient storm organization is possible into clusters or weak
   bowing structures owing to slightly stronger flow aloft around 25-30
   kt. Poor mid-level lapse rates less than 6 C/km do not lend strong
   confidence in sustained damaging wind potential. However, occasional
   damaging gusts will be possible with outflow winds from the
   stronger/more organized clusters. Given the expected increase in
   storm coverage this afternoon, at least a localized risk for
   occasional damaging gusts is becoming apparent. Conditions will be
   monitored for a possible weather watch, though one currently seems
   unlikely.
