    Areas affected...portions of the Upper Michigan Peninsula

    Concerning...Severe Thunderstorm Watch 416...

    Valid 302341Z - 010145Z

    The severe weather threat for Severe Thunderstorm Watch 416
    continues.

    SUMMARY...The severe threat continues across Severe Thunderstorm
    Watch 416. Large hail is the primary threat with the more intense
    storms, but a couple damaging gusts or a tornado also cannot be
    ruled out.

    DISCUSSION...Earlier storms moving onto the Upper MI Peninsula have
    obtained supercell structures within the last hour or so, with
    mainly small hail reported. KMQT and MRMS mosaic radar data show
    these storms continuing to intensify, with severe MESH and
    appreciable low- and mid-level rotation becoming more evident.
    Modified RAP forecast soundings depict relatively moist low level
    overspread by 8-9 C/km 700-500 mb lapse rates, contributing to
    1500-2000 J/kg MLCAPE. In addition to this moderate buoyancy,
    strengthening and veering vertical wind profiles are resulting in
    50-70 kts of effective bulk shear, favoring continued storm organization/strengthening. Large hail will remain a concern with
    the stronger storms through the early evening hours. Downstream of
    the storms, greater low-level shear is present, with RAP forecast
    soundings and APX VWPs showing relatively large, curved 0-3 km
    hodographs. 23Z mesoanalysis shows over 200 m2/s2 effective SRH
    across central and eastern parts of the Upper MI Peninsula. As such,
    a tornado cannot be ruled out with the more discrete, inflow
    dominant supercells this evening.

    Areas affected...Portions of northern OK into southern KS

    Concerning...Severe potential...Severe Thunderstorm Watch likely=20

    Valid 280000Z - 280130Z

    Probability of Watch Issuance...95 percent

    SUMMARY...Significant severe wind gusts (75+ mph) will become an
    increasing concern as thunderstorms spread eastward this evening.
    Downstream watch issuance will be needed.

    DISCUSSION...Convection is strengthening early this evening across
    the OK Panhandle and far northern TX Panhandle as it encounters
    greater MLCAPE with eastward extent along/near a front, with
    multiple reports of 4 inch hail with a supercell in Texas County OK.
    This activity is already showing signs of upscale growth, and this
    trend is expected to continue this evening as a southerly low-level
    jet strengthens to around 30-40 kt. 40+ kt of deep-layer shear will
    easily support continued convective organization of the developing
    MCS.

    There is some concern with the axis of greatest severe wind
    potential this evening across southern KS and northern OK, as the
    surface boundary/front has not advanced as far north as some
    guidance suggested earlier. The greatest instability axis currently
    extends from southwestern KS into northwestern and central OK. While
    some northward advance of rich low-level moisture (70+ surface
    dewpoints) appears possible with the low-level warm advection regime
    tonight, the lack of a stronger surface mass response suggests that
    the greatest instability will probably remain confined close to
    where it is currently located. Adjustments to the higher severe wind probabilities (30/45% wind areas) will likely be needed with the
    forthcoming 01Z Day 1 Convective Outlook across southern KS and northern/central OK to account for observational trends.

    Even with these concerns, the potential for significant
    severe/damaging winds (75+ mph) in a narrow corridor remains
    apparent, as a very unstable airmass and strongly sheared
    environment will likely support a small but intense bow moving east-southeastward this evening. Isolated large hail will remain
    possible with any embedded supercell. A tornado may also occur for a
    couple more hours in a narrow corridor across southwestern KS into
    northwestern OK, where low-level shear will be maximized near the
    surface boundary. Downstream Severe Thunderstorm Watch issuance will
    be required to address the increasing severe threat.
