   Mesoscale Discussion 0759
   NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK
   0522 PM CDT Sun May 17 2026

   Areas affected...portions of central Lower Michigan

   Concerning...Severe potential...Watch possible 

   Valid 172222Z - 172315Z

   Probability of Watch Issuance...40 percent

   SUMMARY...A few instances of severe hail may accompany multicells
   and isolated supercells over the next few hours.

   DISCUSSION...Widely scattered multicells and supercells continue to
   traverse a WAA regime to the north of a warm front. Given 50+ kts of
   effective bulk shear near these storms, severe hail may still occur
   with the strongest updrafts. Nonetheless, the severe threat is
   expected to be more on the sparse side. Conditions will continue to
   be monitored for the need of a WW issuance should storms experience
   a rapid trend in intensification, or become more widespread.
