A watch is possible for parts of these areas later this afternoon. DISCUSSION...Airmass destabilization continues in portions of northwest Ohio into southeast Lower Michigan. An upstream line of convection may impact portions of these areas later this afternoon into the evening. Cloud cover ahead of the convection has slowed the northward progress of the more favorable airmass and the northern portion of the convection has trended downward in the last hour. It is possible that the strongest activity may track farther south where buoyancy is much larger. The greatest risk for damaging winds will probably exist where dewpoints are 70+ F. However, at least isolated wind damage will remain possible along the instability gradient into the evening. A watch is possible for portions of these areas later this afternoon. ..Wendt/Hart.. 08/09/2026 ...Please see www.spc.noaa.gov for graphic product... ATTN...WFO...CLE...ILN...DTX...IWX...GRR...
