Tornado Watch coming per new MD. 80% probability.

AREAS AFFECTED...PORTIONS OF OHIO...INDIANA...SOUTHERN LOWER
MICHIGAN...FAR NORTHERN KENTUCKY

CONCERNING...SEVERE POTENTIAL...TORNADO WATCH LIKELY

VALID 111648Z - 111915Z

PROBABILITY OF WATCH ISSUANCE...80 PERCENT

SUMMARY...PORTIONS OF THE LOWER GREAT LAKES AND OHIO VALLEY REGION
ARE BEING MONITORED FOR AN INCREASING RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS
INCLUDING THE POTENTIAL FOR A FEW TORNADOES. THE ISSUANCE OF A
TORNADO WATCH IS LIKELY.

DISCUSSION...A CLUSTER OF CONVECTION INTENSIFYING ACROSS SOUTHERN
INDIANA CAN BE TRACED BACK TO A LONG-LIVED CONVECTIVE CIRCULATION
EMANATING FROM SOUTHERN-PLAINS DIURNALLY ENHANCED THUNDERSTORMS FROM
YESTERDAY AFTERNOON. THIS ACTIVITY CONTINUES CYCLING -- HAVING
WEAKENED IN RESPONSE TO NOCTURNAL COOLING -- AND SHOULD CONTINUE TO
RE-INTENSIFY AS IT TRACKS NEWD ACROSS PARTS OF INDIANA AND WRN OHIO
TO SRN LOWER MI. THIS ZONE ALIGNS WITH VIS-IMAGERY-IMPLIED...
DIURNALLY ENHANCED BAROCLINICITY OWING TO DIFFERENTIAL HEATING

CONVECTION. AS BAROCLINIC CIRCULATIONS INTENSIFY THROUGH THE

LOWER 60S SFC DEWPOINTS...OTHER CONVECTION WILL INCREASE IN COVERAGE
AND INTENSITY WITHIN A WARM SECTOR S OF A SYNOPTIC WARM FRONT
ADVANCING NWD ACROSS SRN LOWER MI.

MLCAPE WITHIN THE WARM SECTOR AIR IS PROJECTED TO PEAK AROUND
1000-1500 J/KG...WHILE 30-50 KT OF EFFECTIVE BULK SHEAR SUPPORTS
SMALL...FAST MOVING BOWING SEGMENTS CAPABLE OF DMGG WIND GUSTS. THE

THE RISK FOR DMGG WIND GUSTS BY CONVECTIVE MOMENTUM TRANSPORT. WHILE
DIRECTIONAL SHEAR/HODOGRAPH CURVATURE WILL BE LIMITED IN GENERAL --
EXCEPT INVOF THE MI WARM FRONT -- THE MAGNITUDE OF LOW-LEVEL SHEAR
WILL BE SUFFICIENT FOR A TORNADO RISK WITH ANY SUSTAINED SUPERCELL
STORMS / LEWP INFLECTIONS. SUCH RISK WILL BE GREATEST NEAR BACKED
SFC FLOW INVOF THE WARM FRONT.

Potential looking pretty good locally, we still have a warm front in the area, and the mesoscale models want to locally back the wind at the surface as a low forms in the state in a couple hours. That will really pump up the low-level helicity.

That cell looks like it is a hair behind a slowing outflow boundary, once it catches it, the storm should produce. The atmosphere ahead of that boundary is pretty rich.

That's exactly what I am thinking. Thing should explode in a good amount of time. Keeping my eyes on the southern cells as well. Just a waiting game at this point.

 

Rotation being reported by PD and other sources near 469 in Allen County.

2 cells south of the warned cell are getting better organized. All 3 of these cells would be heading toward the Detroit-Toledo-Findley corridor in about 2-3 hours.

 

May be out of school by then and book north. These look like they'll miss me by 2-3 miles on their current path.
