URGENT - IMMEDIATE BROADCAST REQUESTED
Tornado Watch Number 604
NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK
805 AM EDT Tue Aug 6 2024
The NWS Storm Prediction Center has issued a
* Tornado Watch for portions of
Extreme northeastern Indiana
Southern Lower Michigan
Northwestern Ohio
Lake Erie
* Effective this Tuesday morning and afternoon from 805 AM until
300 PM EDT.
* Primary threats include...
A couple tornadoes possible
Scattered damaging wind gusts to 70 mph possible
Isolated large hail events to 1.5 inches in diameter possible
SUMMARY...A small cluster of thunderstorms -- including a strong
supercell that has intensified over southwestern Lower MI, should
move east-southeastward along a baroclinic zone through the
remainder of the morning. This environment will maintain enough
vertical shear for tornado potential, as well as some potential
increase in instability. Upscale growth into a damaging-wind-
producing bow or cluster also is possible.
The tornado watch area is approximately along and 30 statute miles
north and south of a line from 15 miles southwest of Kalamazoo MI to
45 miles east of Toledo OH. For a complete depiction of the watch
see the associated watch outline update (WOUS64 KWNS WOU4).
PRECAUTIONARY/PREPAREDNESS ACTIONS...

tornadoes and severe thunderstorms in and close to the watch
area. Persons in these areas should be on the lookout for
threatening weather conditions and listen for later statements
and possible warnings.

The "Low" category contains probability values ranging from less than 2%
to 20% (EF2-EF5 tornadoes), less than 5% to 20% (all other probabilities),
"Moderate" from 30% to 60%, and "High" from 70% to greater than 95%.
High values are bolded and lighter in color to provide awareness of
an increased threat for a particular event.
