Areas affected...Upper Michigan

Concerning...Severe Thunderstorm Watch 496...

Valid 270159Z - 270400Z

The severe weather threat for Severe Thunderstorm Watch 496
continues.

SUMMARY...An isolated strong storm progressing east of Sawyer Air
Force Base may still pose some risk for severe hail and strong
surface gusts for another hour or so.  Otherwise, the severe weather
potential appears to be decreasing and a new severe weather watch is
not anticipated.

DISCUSSION...The stronger lower/mid tropospheric warm advection
regime (roughly around the 700 mb level) driving the most vigorous
thunderstorm activity continues to spread rapidly
east-northeastward.  By 03-04Z, the latest Rapid Refresh suggests
this forcing will be shifting east of the upper Great Lakes region
into southeastern Ontario.

One cell, in particular, now progressing east of Sawyer AFB MI, may
still be posing some risk for severe hail and strong surface gusts. 
However, CAPE within elevated moist inflow into this storm may begin
to decrease within the next hour or so based on latest objective
instability analyses.  And there is little else evident to suggest
an appreciable increase in severe weather potential over what has
occurred the past few hours.
