Areas affected...Eastern Michigan into nNorthern Ohio

Concerning...Heavy rainfall...Flash flooding possible

Valid 162049Z - 170130Z

Summary...Scattered slow-moving thunderstorms should increase in
coverage into the evening over eastern Michigan and northern Ohio.
Flash flooding is considered possible through 01Z.

Discussion...Regional radar imagery depicts scattered coverage of
heavy thunderstorms around Saginaw Bay with more isolated activity
into northern Ohio. Convective training/repeating has occurred
with 2"/hr rainfall. As this activity shifts east, FFG generally
lowers below 1.5/hr, so the risk for flash flooding increases with
time.

Recent CAMs including the HRRR and experimental RRFS are not
handling the existing activity well. However 1.8" to 2.1" PW and
SBCAPE of 2000 J/kg should allow for further heavy development
over eastern MI and northern OH. There is organized activity
currently over WI and IL that will shift east over MI and OH
overnight, so further MPDs are expected.
