Isolated/marginal nature of risk may preclude the need for WW issuance, but we will continue to monitor evolution. DISCUSSION...Latest visible satellite imagery shows cloud cover decreasing slightly ahead of a mid-level cyclonic circulation moving northeastward across the area. This, combined with associated/cool temperatures aloft and modest afternoon heating has resulted in development of 500 to 1000 J/kg mixed-layer CAPE.=20 Within the zone of broad/background ascent, some convective increase is noted over the past hour, with an associated uptick in lightning. This trend should continue over the next couple of hours -- likely resulting in a few relatively vigorous/low-topped storms which may prove capable of producing marginal hail and a strong gust or two.=20 A brief tornado or two will also be possible, particularly across southern Lower Michigan and northern Indiana where low-level flow is backed/east-southeasterly near and north of a weak warm front. At this time, overall risk is expected to remain localized -- too isolated for serious WW consideration. However, we will continue to monitor short-term trends across this area that could warrant reconsideration of the need for a watch. ...Goss/Guyer.. 09/24/2024 ....Please see https://urldefense.com/v3/__http://www.spc.noaa.gov__;!!DZ3fj= g!9ArYXnRHjMkgZaXefLjkfrg9Ef1N6aesi5toUd2CR69HHcqcMdoIoGGH0qnxfljKu-Ot4JPBe= -FIAxAugd-IDwUuvT8$ for graphic product...
