AREAS AFFECTED...SOUTHEAST LOWER MICHIGAN INTO NORTHERN OHIO
CONCERNING...SEVERE THUNDERSTORM WATCH 648...649...
VALID 032002Z - 032200Z
THE SEVERE WEATHER THREAT FOR SEVERE THUNDERSTORM WATCH 648, 649
CONTINUES.
SUMMARY...A LINE OF THUNDERSTORMS WILL CONTINUE TO ORGANIZE AND
INTENSIFY AS IT CROSSES LAKE ERIE OVER THE NEXT 1-2 HOURS. THE
POTENTIAL FOR SEVERE WIND ALONG THE LAKE SHORE SHOULD INCREASE
THROUGH THIS PERIOD.
DISCUSSION...REGIONAL RADAR IMAGERY DEPICTS STEADY COLD POOL
CONSOLIDATION WITHIN A ORGANIZING MCS ACROSS SOUTHEAST LOWER MI.
VELOCITY IMAGERY AND SURFACE OBSERVATIONS HAVE BEEN SAMPLING
OCCASIONAL WIND GUSTS OF 50-65 MPH WITHIN THE LINE AS THIS
STRENGTHENING HAS OCCURRED. DOWNSTREAM, TEMPERATURES HAVE BEEN
STEADILY WARMING INTO THE UPPER 80S AND LOW 90S WITH MLCAPE VALUES
INCREASING INTO THE 2000-3000 J/KG RANGE - ESPECIALLY ALONG THE
WESTERN LAKE SHORE. WITH ELONGATED HODOGRAPHS ACROSS THE REGION (AS
SAMPLED BY REGIONAL VWPS), IT SEEMS LIKELY THAT FURTHER
ORGANIZATION/INTENSIFICATION OF THE LINE WILL OCCUR OVER THE NEXT
COUPLE OF HOURS. WIND GUSTS BETWEEN 60-75 MPH MAY BECOME MORE
COMMON, INCLUDING ALONG THE SOUTHERN/EASTERN SHORES ACROSS NORTHERN
OH WHERE TEMPERATURES ARE REBOUNDING INTO THE UPPER 80S AFTER THE
PASSAGE OF A WEAK LAKE BREEZE. BASED ON RECENT STORM TRACKS, THE
LINE SHOULD REACH THE GREATER CLEVELAND AREA WITHIN THE NEXT 1.5 TO
2.5 HOURS.
