Continue reading for today's outlook from the National Weather Service's Storm Prediction Center. -------------------- National Severe Storm Outlook THERE IS A SLIGHT RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS ACROSS PORTIONS OF THE SOUTHERN GREAT LAKES REGION SUMMARY Ongoing severe thunderstorms across the Great Lakes this evening will remain capable of producing damaging thunderstorm winds, a couple of tornadoes, and some hail into the overnight hours. 01Z Update A vigorous, negatively tilted trough continues to lift northeast across the Upper Great Lakes this evening. Ahead of this wave, strong ascent is supporting multiple clusters/bands of severe convection across the Great Lakes -- one currently across Indiana and Michigan within the cyclone's warm-conveyor belt and another across Illinois and Wisconsin along the combined Pacific front and dryline. Despite the loss of diurnal heating, strong large-scale ascent and low-level convergence along the front/dryline will support thunderstorms into the overnight. Although the overall intensity of the thunderstorms will gradually decrease with time, the strength of the low-level wind fields will support a continued wind threat into Lower Michigan overnight, with a modest QLCS-type tornado threat.
