Due to the rather isolated and marginal nature of the severe weather threat, a severe weather watch does not appear needed, but trends will be monitored. DISCUSSION...A seasonably moist boundary layer, wrapping into an elongated surface low (centered near the southern Michigan state border) and ahead of a warming mid-level environment, has become the focus for stronger recent destabilization across southeastern Ohio into the western Lake Erie vicinity. This includes mixed-layer CAPE increasing in excess of 1000 J/kg, which may slowly shift eastward with a subtle short wave impulse during the next few hours, and perhaps become maximized near or east of the Cleveland vicinity.=20=20 Widely scattered thunderstorm development is already underway, and this probably will increase and intensify a bit further with additional destabilization. Due to a relatively warm mid-level environment with weak lapse rates, weak deep-layer shear and rather modest southwesterly mean environmental flow on the order of 20-25 kts, the risk for severe weather appears generally low across most areas, though locally strong gusts are possible. However, in proximity to the lake breeze near the southern shores of Lake Erie, low-level convergence and shear might become sufficient to contribute to a short-lived supercell structure or two, which could pose a risk for a brief tornado into early evening. ...Kerr/Guyer.. 08/06/2023 ....Please see https://urldefense.com/v3/__http://www.spc.noaa.gov__;!!DZ3fj= g!-hagK4NoAQMY3q7ffLYsJlg2bDi24FUTZ5GzcsRseBmaNt27NOBgGTyFdxltmSWLDdaCI4VC4= mFvJnjMK9DK90w-E1Q$ for graphic product...
