   Areas affected...Portions of southeastern Lower Michigan

   Concerning...Severe Thunderstorm Watch 75...

   Valid 302312Z - 310045Z

   The severe weather threat for Severe Thunderstorm Watch 75
   continues.

   SUMMARY...A northeastward-moving MCS will continue to pose a
   severe-wind and embedded/brief tornado risk across southeastern
   Lower Michigan.

   DISCUSSION...A long-lived MCS with an established 70+ kt rear inflow
   jet and embedded mesovorticies is tracking northeastward across
   southeastern Lower Michigan at around 50 kt. The DTX VWP indicates
   40-50 kt of 0-6 km shear oriented perpendicular to the gust front,
   which should support continued maintenance of this system. As the
   strong cold pool continues tracking into lower 60s F dewpoints,
   around 70 mph wind gusts will remain possible. However, locally
   stronger gusts up to 80 mph (and a brief tornado) are possible with
   any line-embedded mesovorticies and in the vicinity of the
   established rear-inflow jet.
