NWS STORM PREDICTION CENTER NORMAN OK
0210 PM CST FRI MAR 06 2026
AREAS AFFECTED...SOUTHERN LOWER MICHIGAN...NORTHERN INDIANA...AND
NORTHEAST ILLINOIS
CONCERNING...SEVERE POTENTIAL...WATCH POSSIBLE
VALID 062010Z - 062215Z
PROBABILITY OF WATCH ISSUANCE...40 PERCENT
SUMMARY...A COUPLE STRONG TO SEVERE STORMS ARE POSSIBLE THROUGH THE
AFTERNOON.
DISCUSSION...AN ISOLATED THUNDERSTORM HAS BEEN GRADUALLY
INTENSIFYING ALONG A WARM FRONT IN FAR SOUTHWESTERN LOWER MI THIS
AFTERNOON, WITH ADDITIONAL DEEPENING CUMULUS EXTENDING
WEST-SOUTHWESTWARD ACROSS NORTHERN IN INTO NORTHEASTERN IL. HERE,
LOWER 60S DEWPOINTS AND DIURNAL HEATING HAS YIELDED A CORRIDOR OF
WEAK SURFACE-BASED BUOYANCY ALONG THE SOUTHERN EDGE OF WIDESPREAD
CLOUDS. DESPITE THE WEAK BUOYANCY, STRONG DEEP-LAYER WIND FIELD
(SAMPLED BY REGIONAL VWP) IS YIELDING AN ELONGATED HODOGRAPH WITH
ENHANCED LOW-LEVEL CURVATURE. THIS ENVIRONMENT MAY PROMOTE SOME
STORM ORGANIZATION THIS AFTERNOON, INCLUDING SMALL CLUSTERS AND
BRIEF/TRANSIENT SUPERCELL STRUCTURES. LOCALLY DAMAGING WINDS AND
PERHAPS A TORNADO RISK WILL ACCOMPANY THE STRONGER STORMS THAT
EVOLVE. THE OVERALL SEVERE RISK MAY REMAIN TOO ISOLATED FOR A WATCH,
THOUGH TRENDS ARE BEING MONITORED.
