    Areas affected...Far southeast MI and northern OH

    Concerning...Tornado and Severe Thunderstorm Watches 113...118...

    Valid 150612Z - 150745Z

    The severe weather threat for Tornado and Severe Thunderstorm
    Watches 113, 118 continues.

    SUMMARY...Locally damaging wind and a brief tornado remain possible,
    though some weakening is expected with time.

    DISCUSSION...A long-lived QLCS is moving across southeast MI and far
    northern IN/northwest OH early this morning. Parts of the QLCS are
    oriented parallel to the deep-layer flow, which is less favorable
    for severe potential due to undercutting outflow. However, the more
    north-south oriented segment approaching Detroit shows more
    potential for damaging wind and embedded mesovortices in the short
    term, as indicated by a recent 55 kt gust at KYIP.=20

    With decreasing MLCAPE and increasing MLCINH with eastward extent,
    longevity of the severe threat with this ongoing QLCS may be
    relatively limited. Strong low-level southwesterly flow (as noted on
    regional VWPs) may allow for sufficient moistening/destabilization
    across parts of northwest and north-central OH, where WW 318 was
    recently issued. Some threat for locally damaging wind and perhaps a
    brief tornado remains possible in this area through around 08-09
    UTC, before a more definitive weakening trend is expected.
