    Concerning...Severe Thunderstorm Watch 56...

    Valid 160414Z - 160615Z

    The severe weather threat for Severe Thunderstorm Watch 56
    continues.

    SUMMARY...Isolated damaging wind risk continues with progressive
    squall line. However, a new watch is not currently anticipated.

    DISCUSSION...Strongly forced band of pre-frontal convection is
    propagating northeast across northeast IN/southern Lower MI and
    extreme northwest OH. Boundary layer air mass has gradually
    recovered into southeast MI over the last few hours which is
    contributing to weak buoyancy, immediately ahead of this convection.
    However, updrafts appear to be weakening a bit as lighting with the
    northern portions of the squall line is decreasing, and the linear
    nature of this activity is becoming more diffuse with time. Given
    the current trends a new watch is not currently anticipated.
