An isolated severe thunderstorm may develop by late afternoon and the area is being monitored for possible watch issuance. DISCUSSION...A warm front, currently draped northwest to southeast across central/southern Lower MI will continue to slowly lift north through the afternoon. Cloud cover through early afternoon has muted surface heating, with temperatures generally in the mid/upper 70s F. However, dewpoints within the warm sector to the south of the front have climbed into the upper 60s to near 70 F. This is contributing to MLCAPE values around 1000-1500 J/kg. Low-level convergence and some large-scale support from a passing shortwave impulse should support increasing thunderstorm development over the next couple of hours. Vertically veering wind profiles and 30-40 kt midlevel southwesterlies are contributing to effective shear magnitudes up to 35 kt. This environment should support isolated organized storms capable of damaging gusts. Midlevel lapse rate will remain modest, but elongated hodographs suggest marginal hail also may occur on a sporadic basis. Timing and coverage of severe storms remains somewhat uncertain, and this area is being monitored for a possible severe thunderstorm watch this afternoon. ...Leitman/Smith.. 08/11/2023 ....Please see https://urldefense.com/v3/__http://www.spc.noaa.gov__;!!DZ3fj= g!600rxEgrfcQdwqTztRdbPlZ7U4pKdeQudQ7iwOLNVygRtQiIoO7VJnZdjhgcxRhLdw0WHUJxn= Fbz5P3z0svKzuFaF2g$ for graphic product...
