    Areas affected...portions of northern Indiana into extreme
    southwestern Lower Michigan

    Concerning...Severe Thunderstorm Watch 102...

    Valid 132038Z - 132215Z

    The severe weather threat for Severe Thunderstorm Watch 102
    continues.

    SUMMARY...A severe wind/hail threat should continue with ongoing
    storms over the next few hours.

    DISCUSSION...A multicellular cluster of thunderstorms is persisting
    eastward amid a heated boundary layer (characterized by surface
    temperatures over 80 F), and modest vertical wind shear. Multiple
    wind damage reports, along with measured gusts around 50 kts have
    been received over the past few hours. MRMS MESH has also indicated
    the possibility of 1+ inch hail occurring with some of the stronger
    storms as well. Given 60+ F surface dewpoints and resultant 1500+
    J/kg MLCAPE preceding the storms, a severe wind/hail threat should
    continue with these storms for at least a few more hours. Given
    adequate surface-based instability preceding supercell structures, a
    tornado cannot be completely ruled out.
