    Areas affected...Southeast Lower Michigan

    Concerning...Severe Thunderstorm Watch 447...

    Valid 032142Z - 032345Z

    The severe weather threat for Severe Thunderstorm Watch 447
    continues.

    SUMMARY...A broken line of thunderstorms continues to develop a
    cohesive cold pool, which will likely maintain the threat for
    damaging/severe winds over the next 1-2 hours as it approaches the
    greater Detroit area.

    DISCUSSION...Over the past hour, recent regional reflectivity and
    velocity data from Lower MI/northern IN depicts the gradual
    emergence of a more cohesive cold pool within an otherwise broken
    band of thunderstorms. Concurrently, GOES IR imagery has shown
    periodic bursts of intense updrafts and a gradual cooling trend in
    cloud-top temperatures, further suggesting that some
    organization/consolidation is occurring. Latest RAP mesoanalyses
    continue to show an MLCAPE gradient draped eastward across the
    greater Detroit area ahead of the convective band. Although
    deep-layer shear remains somewhat meager, propagation along this
    boundary appears likely over the next few hours. Based on latest
    storm track estimates, this band will begin to impact the greater
    Detroit area between the next 1-2 hours and will likely pose a
    threat for damaging/severe winds (most likely between 50-65 mph).
