    Areas affected...Northeast Wisconsin to Northwest Lower Michigan

    Concerning...Severe Thunderstorm Watch 422...

    Valid 301534Z - 301730Z

    The severe weather threat for Severe Thunderstorm Watch 422
    continues.

    SUMMARY...Isolated occurrences of large hail and locally damaging
    wind gusts remain possible across mainly the southern half of Severe Thunderstorm Watch 422. Some remnant of the ongoing storms could
    move into parts of northwest lower Michigan by early afternoon and
    pose a severe weather threat.

    DISCUSSION...Trends in visible satellite and radar data indicate
    periodic intensification-weakening cycles with the storms ongoing
    west through southwest of Green Bay. The storms are moving through a
    moist and moderate to strongly unstable environment with MLCAPE as
    high as 3000-3500 J/kg, per latest objective analysis. The storm
    behavior thus far suggests they may still be slightly elevated and
    are not fully realizing the available buoyancy. The current KGRB VWP
    is sampling largely westerly tropospheric winds with 40-50 kt speeds
    noted above 5-6 km.

    The environment described above is supportive of storm organization,
    assuming updrafts can become rooted in the boundary layer. Large
    hail is the primary concern in the short term, but the potential for
    damaging winds may increase with time owing to the unidirectional
    wind profiles and potential for downshear propagation along an
    organizing cold pool.

    Some convection-allowing model guidance indicates the WI storms
    moving across Lake MI into northwest lower MI by early afternoon
    with an associated damaging wind threat. However, considerable
    cloudiness currently exists across lower MI this morning, which is
    slowing the destabilization process.
