    Areas affected...west-central Michigan...northern Indiana...and
    northeastern Illinois

    Concerning...Severe potential...Watch likely=20

    Valid 102058Z - 102300Z

    Probability of Watch Issuance...80 percent

    SUMMARY...A severe mesoscale convective system is surging eastward
    over Lake Michigan toward central and southern MI. Watch issuance is
    likely in order to address the associated severe-wind threat.

    DISCUSSION...A mature mesoscale convective system (MCS) has
    developed and is surging eastward over Lake Michigan as of 2040z.
    Several strong-to-severe wind gusts have been reported in the last
    couple of hours, including an 82-kt gust at 2017z in Oshkosh, WI.
    The meridional portion of the line -- oriented orthogonal to
    30-40-kt bulk shear vectors -- is expected to continue producing strong-to-severe wind gusts as it crosses Lake Michigan. Downstream
    of the lake, the environment in south-central MI (south of a warm
    front draped through the central part of the state) is characterized
    by very large MLCAPE (3000+ J/kg) and westerly bulk shear around 30
    kts. The general expectation is for the associated mid-level impulse
    to persist eastward and support MCS maintenance into MI. Some
    uncertainty exists as to the eastward extent of the threat in MI,
    possibly due to inflow contamination from convection developing
    across central MI. MCS intensity will eventually wane after peak
    diurnal heating. However, confidence is relatively high in the
    short-term severe-wind threat continuing into MI, and a watch is
    likely warranted.
