Valid 280713Z - 280915Z The severe weather threat for Severe Thunderstorm Watch 26 continues. SUMMARY...A severe threat is expected to continue across parts of southeast Lower Michigan over the next 1 to 2 hours. Additional weather watch issuance will not be needed, but an extension in area could be done if necessary. DISCUSSION...The latest high-resolution radar from Detroit shows a disjointed line of strong to severe storms ongoing 30 to 40 statute miles to the north of Detroit. The line of storms is being supported by a subtle shortwave trough, and an associated vorticity max, located over Lower Michigan evident on water vapor imagery. RAP analysis data suggests the MLCAPE is around 500 J/kg, and WSR-88D VWPs have 45 to 50 knots of 0-6 km shear. This should support isolated supercells capable of producing wind damage and isolated large hail. 0-3 km storm-relative helicity around 225 m2/s2 may also be sufficient for a brief tornado as well. ...Broyles/Goss.. 02/28/2024 ....Please see https://urldefense.com/v3/__http://www.spc.noaa.gov__;!!DZ3fj= g!6OesBcYyCPGPNMng98V7Y8flWTQ_3Y3c8HUkrOkQlLulmyufIWEaY00sSEPPpKiljbJaaj6JC= Y-pTiS6tF6AUXoiGIk$ for graphic product...
