Narrative:
Scattered thunderstorms in dtw area. We were given 2 clrncs on the geneva 2 departure, one over wings one over cavvs, oh. We were the first aircraft to go south over cavvs in a while. I was looking at the radar and working with the air traffic controller to get around thunderstorms and give a PIREP at his request. I was the one that noticed the deviation to FL194 and informed ATC we were correcting to FL190.
