...A SEVERE THUNDERSTORM WARNING REMAINS IN EFFECT UNTIL 1245 PM EDT
FOR ALLEGAN...NORTHWESTERN VAN BUREN AND OTTAWA COUNTIES...

At 1132 AM EDT, severe thunderstorms were located along a line
extending from 6 miles west of Holland SP to near Saugatuck to near
Fennville to 8 miles northeast of South Haven, moving northeast at 65
mph.

These are very dangerous storms.

HAZARD...85 mph wind gusts.

SOURCE...Radar indicated.

IMPACT...You are in a life-threatening situation. Flying debris may 
         be deadly to those caught without shelter. Mobile homes 
         will be heavily damaged or destroyed. Homes and businesses 
         will have substantial roof and window damage. Expect 
         extensive tree damage and power outages.

Locations impacted include...
Holland...             Grand Haven...         Allegan...
South Haven...         Hudsonville...         Zeeland...
Coopersville...        Ferrysburg...          Spring Lake...

Allendale...           Dorr...                Covert...
Ganges...              Conklin...             

PRECAUTIONARY/PREPAREDNESS ACTIONS...

For your protection move to an interior room on the lowest floor of a
building.

This is an EXTREMELY DANGEROUS SITUATION with tornado like wind
speeds expected. Mobile homes and high profile vehicles are
especially susceptible to winds of this magnitude and may be
overturned. For your protection move to an interior room on the
lowest floor of a building. These storms have the potential to cause
serious injury and significant property damage.

Continuous cloud to ground lightning is occurring with these storms.
Move indoors immediately. Lightning is one of nature's leading
killers. Remember, if you can hear thunder, you are close enough to
be struck by lightning.

Torrential rainfall is occurring with these storms, and may lead to
flash flooding. Do not drive your vehicle through flooded roadways.

National Weather Service Detroit/Pontiac
MI 1144 AM EDT Wed Jun 10 2020

.UPDATE...

Southwest flow already gusting up to 25-30 kts accompanied by CWA-
wide dewpoints firmly in the 72-74 range by 15z this morning. 12z DTX
sounding indicated 1200 j/kg MLCAPE with a pronounced H7 cap beneath
the resident shortwave ridge axis. Mean lapse rates from the cap to
the EL, which resides around 36kft, averaging a pedestrian but still
adequate 6C/KM or slightly better. Gravity waves within the
disspating morning stratocu field over eastern areas indicative of
the last vestigates of the nocturnal inversion while an increasingly
agitated cu field has begun taking shape to the south and southwest.
Convection remains unlikely in the very near term as capping will
persist until the coincident arrival of cooler temperatures
associated with increasing mid-level height falls and greater deep
layer moisture over over northern Indiana around 17z, at which time
data from a 17z special release will be incoming.

Momentum fields will ramp up considerably in the 18-00z time frame
as the shortwave over northeast Missouri acquires a shaprly negative
tilt and lifts toward Lower MI. Superposition of strong dynamic
forcing (especially south), the strengthening deep layer wind field,
and MLCAPE on the order of 2000-2500 j/kg will anchor a widespread
severe thunderstorm threat with evolution toward a high end threat
with time and especially with eastward extent. Convective mode will
be largely modulated by SSW bulk shear increasing from 35kts early
this afternoon to 50kts or greater over the eastern half of the CWA
during the peak of the event. SSW shear certainly supportive of a
few supercells especially over central/eastern zones (i.e. away from
the impinging cold front). Otherwise, convection is expected to
organize into linear/bowing structures supported by strong/deep rear
inflow. Regardless of convective mode, ample dry air noted on the
morning sounding and vigorous updraft intensity will support
strong/significant downbursts. Any supercells will also pose a
marginal hail threat, any greater potential likely limited by the
overall warm thermal profile. Strongly veered SSW wind proifle
suggests extremely limited availability of streamwise vorticity to
existing supercells as confirmed by paltry 0-0.5 SRH of 50-100
m2/s2. In any case, the greatest tornado threat will most likely
occur with localized bottom-up type development (i.e. apex of bows,
etc) rather than with supercells.

1111 AM EDT Wed Jun 10 2020

The thunderstorms are moving across the I-94 area, west of Jackson as I write this. The storms will continue to develop into a solid line of storms that will reach the eastern sections by mid afternoon. Strong winds are the greatest threat with these storms. There is strong low level moisture transport, focused on the I-69 area early this afternoon. the low level jet axis by mid afternoon will be just east of US-131 and there will be speed convergence as the core of the low level jet at 4 pm will be south of our CWA. Add to that a strong upper jet crossing the area with unusually strong upper level wave, it`s clear there is a significant severe storm threat today.

im hoping this spell breaks. i know soundings last night indicated a pretty good tor chance due to speed shear. went from showing pds tor now to just tor. gonna be a fun day i cant remember the last time we have had this kind of threat. and im surprised stuff already initiated so early west of here. should be a good sign i just hope a line dont go thru too early in the day

We've had some early season PDS Watches totally fail over SWMI in the last decade. Even 11-17-13 didn't get the tor's up into MI as was expected. The Tor Watch in May of 2011 which produced the large rotation and tor-like damage swath is the worst I can remember locally. We are kinda overdue tbh. OH had that surprise outbreak back in Aug of '16 or '17, and the after dark EF4 on the NW side of Toledo back in June of 2010 also caused a warning here due to a very brief funnel west of here that took the roof off a church bldg. Way back 100 or more years ago, Marshall took a direct hit from a twister and the city hall bell was later found some miles from it's original location. The bell is now a memorial piece with a history plaque in front our current city hall. Stay safe all you Michiganders!

Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Northern Indiana
1134 AM EDT Wed Jun 10 2020
Continued strong confidence in multiple severe weather events,
especially eastern half of CWA this afternoon. Area of concern
developing on leading edge of dryline advancing eastward into
southwest Indiana/KEVV vicinity. Hi-res satellite data showing
rapid transition to convective streets and sheared towering
cumulus field. As this embedded mesoscale vorticity lifts north-
northeast. Effective shear, with speed shear largely attributing,
to 50-55 knots over northern Indiana coincident with moderate to
strong unstable airmass. Pockets of heating with surface
temperatures into middle 80s and dewpoints in middle 70s with
3000-3500 J/kg SBCAPE early this afternoon will continue to
provide upscale growth of linear segments, potential LEWP with an
embedded tornado, though by far the greatest risk is for
widespread damaging wind gusts, significant tree and possible
structural damage in isolated areas.

   Areas affected...parts of central and northern Lower MI

   Concerning...Severe potential...Severe Thunderstorm Watch likely 

   Valid 101617Z - 101715Z

   Probability of Watch Issuance...95 percent

   SUMMARY...A severe-wind bowing segment near Grand Rapids is
   projected to move into northern Lower MI and beyond severe
   thunderstorm watch 274 by 130pm EDT.  A new severe thunderstorm
   watch will be needed from near Saginaw Bay northward encompassing
   much of northern Lower MI.  A severe thunderstorm watch will also be
   needed for southeast Lower MI and may be issued in coordination with
   the Alpena and Detroit NWS Forecast Offices.

   DISCUSSION...Radar imagery from KGRR shows a severe bowing segment
   moving northeast at 60 mph.  The Holland, MI ASOS (KBIV) observed a
   63 kt gust at 1145am EDT with passage of this bow.  The bowing
   segment and a cluster farther east near Lansing are projected to
   move east/north of the severe thunderstorm watch 274 by 130pm EDT. 
   The airmass downstream of these storms over central and northern
   Lower MI has destabilized with surface temperatures in the upper 80s
   with dewpoints in the upper 60s to lower 70s deg F.  RAP forecast
   soundings show 2000-2500 J/kg with 45 kt effective shear.  The
   near-storm environment will continue to favor severe clusters
   capable of damaging gusts (55-75 mph), which will result in swaths
   of scattered to widespread wind damage.

yeah i remember the one in toledo, that was a good weather day but sad a strong tornado hit structures. yeah your right we have had some pds be complete flukes. im just hoping the cap stays till 3pm so it gives the best chance of strong storms in SELM. if things get spicy i might go out and do some chasing myself later

Indeed. The HRRR seems like it has had that tendency all year, with mixed results. Wind profiles seem rather uni-directional but there is some backing near the surface, so I'm wondering if maybe a hybrid of the two (think QLCS type event) may end up being what we see? It'll be interesting, for sure.

85/76 here in Columbus Grove (north of Lima, OH), southwesterlies have been rolling all morning. SPC just hoisted an MD for IN/OH with 95% chance of a SVR watch being hoisted.  

Yep.QLCS is looking likely. The storms near Bunker HIll and Russiaville in IN are already starting to spin. I may not be back on here for awhile. Getting ready to head out.

   Areas affected...western and central Ohio into northern Kentucky

   Concerning...Severe potential...Watch likely 

   Valid 101758Z - 101930Z

   Probability of Watch Issuance...95 percent

   SUMMARY...A new Severe Thunderstorm Watch downstream of WW275 will
   likely be issued within the next hour. Severe thunderstorms capable
   of damaging wind gusts, isolated large hail, and a tornado or two
   will be likely through this afternoon.

   DISCUSSION...A broken line of thunderstorms over central Indiana has
   produced several reports of damaging winds over the last few hours.
   These storms are ongoing in a very moist environment (surface
   dewpoints in the low to mid 70s F) ahead of a pressure trough/wind
   shift emanating from a 983 mb cyclone over southern Ontario.
   1500-2000 J/kg of MLCAPE, and 35-45 kt of effective shear as sampled
   by SPC mesoanalysis will support robust organized updrafts in the
   form of small bowing segments and supercells. Damaging winds will
   primarily be the main threat with the increase in storm coverage and
   interactions favoring strong downdrafts. However, the magnitude of
   instability/buoyancy will support some risk for isolated large hail
   with the strongest updrafts. Hodographs are expected to be
   relatively long but low-level flow is expected veer with time
   supporting the threat for one or two tornadoes given 0-1 km shear of
   15-20 kt. A new Severe thunderstorm Watch will be needed within the
   next hour.

If RadarScope is correct all of those storms close to the IWX radar are packing 70-95 mph winds. Almost got a dang Cat 2 Hurricane in these things right now basically.

This storm was warned for 80 MPH winds and even that might have been understated. 

 

On a related note, do I need to update my Radarscope membership to see the actual max on velocity scans or is it a setting?

You might. It's the inspector tool that actually shows true windspeeds and dBZ
