AREAS AFFECTED...EAST CENTRAL-SERN IL AND WRN IND
CONCERNING...SEVERE THUNDERSTORM WATCH 543...
VALID 312035Z - 312130Z
THE SEVERE WEATHER THREAT FOR SEVERE THUNDERSTORM WATCH 543
CONTINUES.
SUMMARY...TSTMS WILL CONTINUE TO DEVELOP ALONG THE COLD FRONT AS IT
ADVANCES SSEWD THROUGH EAST CENTRAL IL AND WEST CENTRAL IND LATE
THIS AFTERNOON...WITH ADDITIONAL STORMS FORMING ALONG THE RETREATING
OUTFLOW BOUNDARY IN SWRN IND. HAIL AND STRONG WIND GUSTS WILL
REMAIN THE PRIMARY SEVERE WEATHER THREATS.
COUNTIES ACROSS THE FAR NWRN EXTENT OF THIS WW COULD BE CANCELLED
EARLY...WHILE LOCAL AREAL EXTENSION OF THIS WATCH MAY BE NEEDED
ACROSS CENTRAL IND AS THE AIR MASS DESTABILIZES EWD.
DISCUSSION...TRENDS IN REGIONAL RADAR IMAGERY SUGGEST THE NRN EXTENT
FOR NEW TSTM DEVELOPMENT HAS SHIFTED A LITTLE SSEWD FROM MCLEAN
COUNTY IL TO BENTON COUNTY IND. IF THIS TREND PERSISTS...THEN THE
COUNTIES IN THE NWRN EXTENT OF THIS WATCH COULD BE LOCALLY CANCELLED
EARLY.
OTHERWISE...ADDITIONAL SURFACE HEATING HAS ALLOWED TEMPERATURES TO
REACH THE UPPER 90S TO NEAR 100 F IN EAST CENTRAL- SERN IL TO THE
IL/IND BORDER. THIS HEATING HAS OCCURRED TO THE WEST OF AN OLD
OUTFLOW BOUNDARY THAT HAS BEEN RETREATING NEWD DURING THE LAST FEW
HOURS AND AT 2015Z EXTENDED FROM SRN FORD COUNTY IL TO LAWRENCE
COUNTY IND. MLCAPE OF 2000-2500 J/KG ACROSS MUCH OF THE WATCH AND
DESTABILIZATION WITH EWD EXTENT OVER CENTRAL IND COMBINED WITH
EFFECTIVE BULK SHEAR OF 30-45 KT WILL SUPPORT MULTICELL AND
SUPERCELL DEVELOPMENT YET THIS AFTERNOON. IN ADDITION TO A HAIL
THREAT...THE STRONG SURFACE HEATING HAS FURTHER STEEPENED LOW LEVEL
LAPSE RATES WITH TEMPERATURE/DEWPOINT SPREADS OF 30-35 DEGREES
ENHANCING THE THREAT FOR STRONGER WIND GUSTS. THIS POTENTIAL IS
FURTHER SUPPORTED BY DCAPE VALUES THAT ARE AROUND 1500 J/KG FROM
CENTRAL/SRN IND TO ERN IL.

SUFFICIENT FOR A SEVERE THREAT DURING THE OVERNIGHT PERIOD. THE LINE
IS MOVING SSEWD AT AROUND 30 KT AND APPEARS TO HAVE A SOMEWHAT

HAIL WILL EXIST WITH SUSTAINED STORMS. HOWEVER...GIVEN THE PRESENCE
OF A MID-LEVEL RIDGE ACROSS THE REGION...RELATIVELY WARMER AIR ALOFT
AND THE LACK OF STRONGER DEEP FORCING FOR ASCENT SHOULD KEEP STORM
COVERAGE LIMITED.

CONCERNING...SEVERE POTENTIAL...WATCH POSSIBLE
VALID 240413Z - 240545Z
PROBABILITY OF WATCH ISSUANCE...40 PERCENT
SUMMARY...THE SEVERE WEATHER THREAT MAY NOT BE COMPLETELY NEGLIGIBLE
IN THE NEAR TERM ...AND IT APPEARS POSSIBLE THAT IT COULD INCREASE
AFTER 06Z ACROSS PARTS OF SOUTHERN MINNESOTA...PERHAPS EASTWARD INTO
SOUTHERN WISCONSIN/NORTHERN ILLINOIS. TRENDS ARE BEING MONITORED
FOR AN INCREASING THREAT THAT COULD REQUIRE A WATCH.
DISCUSSION...A GRADUAL INCREASE IN CONVECTIVE DEVELOPMENT IS
UNDERWAY WITHIN A PERSISTENT ZONE OF STRONGER LOWER/MID TROPOSPHERIC
WARM ADVECTION ...ON THE NORTHERN EDGE OF MORE STRONGLY CAPPING
ELEVATED MIXED LAYER AIR ADVECTING AROUND THE CENTRAL U.S.
SUBTROPICAL HIGH CENTER. THROUGH THE 06-09Z TIME FRAME...ACTIVITY
IS EXPECTED TO DEVELOP EAST SOUTHEASTWARD INTO SOUTHERN
WISCONSIN...WHILE CONTINUING TO REDEVELOP ACROSS SOUTHERN
MINNESOTA...NEAR THE NOSE OF A 40+ KT SOUTHWESTERLY 850 MB JET.
HIGH PRECIPITABLE WATER ON THE ORDER OF 1.75 TO 2 INCHES IS
CONTRIBUTING TO LARGE CAPE ALONG THIS CORRIDOR...WHICH APPEARS TO
COINCIDE WITH A BELT OF 40-50 KT WEST NORTHWESTERLY 500 MB FLOW.
VERTICAL SHEAR IS SUFFICIENT FOR ORGANIZED CONVECTIVE
DEVELOPMENT...INCLUDING SUPERCELL STRUCTURES WHICH MAY ENHANCE THE
POTENTIAL FOR LARGE HAIL. CELL TRAINING MAY LEAD TO LOCALLY HEAVY
RAINFALL...AND THE UPSCALE GROWTH OF ONE OR TWO LARGER STORM
CLUSTERS MAY NOT BE OUT OF THE QUESTION. HIGHEST POTENTIAL FOR THIS
SEEMS TO BE ACROSS SOUTHWESTERN MINNESOTA AFTER 06Z...AS FORCING FOR
UPWARD VERTICAL MOTION IS ENHANCED BY AN IMPULSE PROGRESSING
EASTWARD ACROSS SOUTH DAKOTA. IF THIS OCCURS...HEAVY PRECIPITATION
LOADING MAY LEAD TO ONE OR TWO DOWNBURSTS WITH STRONG SURFACE
GUSTS...AND EVENTUALLY THE DEVELOPMENT OF A SIGNIFICANT EAST
SOUTHEASTWARD PROPAGATING COLD POOL.
