DISCUSSION...A band of convection is expected to increase in coverage, arcing from northern/eastern Lower Michigan into central Ohio and western West Virginia over the next 1-2 hours. This activity will develop within a modest boundary-layer moisture and weak midlevel lapse rate environment ahead of an eastward-progressing cold front. MLCAPE is expected to remain near/below 500 J/kg through the afternoon as the band lifts east/northeast across the MCD area. Deep-layer flow also will remain modest, with effective shear magnitudes generally around 30 kt. While the overall thermodynamic/kinematic environment will remain marginal for organized severe convection, steep low-level lapse rates with rather deep boundary-layer mixing could support localized strong gust potential. At this time the overall threat is expected to remain limited and a watch is not currently anticipated. ...Leitman/Grams.. 04/16/2023 ....Please see https://urldefense.com/v3/__http://www.spc.noaa.gov__;!!DZ3fj= g!5xu-HhO7tW1k08yaXXNGIoek98z2iXP-zyPNFQOUfGhbmQQzDgtm6aED4kFgPwaVRAdrBPBfi= Tv6anc6nhvaYdTB9Oc$ for graphic product...
