Mesoscale Discussion 13:37:33.4856247
AREAS AFFECTED...CNTRL IL...WCNTRL IND
CONCERNING...SEVERE POTENTIAL...WATCH POSSIBLE
VALID 211836Z - 212000Z
PROBABILITY OF WATCH ISSUANCE...60 PERCENT
SUMMARY...AN ISOLATED SEVERE THREAT IS EXPECTED TO DEVELOP ACROSS
CNTRL IL INTO WRN IND THIS AFTERNOON. ISOLATED LARGE HAIL AND WIND
DAMAGE WILL INITIALLY BE THE MAIN THREAT. AN ISOLATED TORNADO THREAT
COULD ALSO DEVELOP LATER THIS AFTERNOON. WW ISSUANCE MAY BECOME
NECESSARY ACROSS THE REGION ONCE THE SCENARIO BEGINS TO UNFOLD.
DISCUSSION...THUNDERSTORMS ARE CURRENTLY INITIATING AND INCREASING
IN INTENSITY JUST TO THE EAST OF A DEEPENING SFC LOW CENTERED OVER
NE MO. THE STORMS ARE LOCATED ON THE NERN EDGE OF INSTABILITY AND ON
THE NOSE OF A MID-LEVEL JET MOVING INTO THE REGION FROM THE WEST
NORTHWEST. THE STRONG MID-LEVEL FLOW ASSOCIATED WITH THE JET IS
CREATING FAVORABLE SHEAR PROFILES FOR SEVERE STORMS IN SPITE OF THE
WEAK INSTABILITY IN PLACE. THE WSR-88D VWP AT SPRINGFIELD IL
CURRENTLY SHOWS ABOUT 65 KT OF 0-6 KM SHEAR WITH SUBSTANTIAL VEERING
WITH HEIGHT FROM 2 TO 3 KM. THIS COULD SUPPORT A SUPERCELL THREAT AS
LOW-LEVEL MOISTURE ADVECTS NWD INTO THE MCD AREA AND INSTABILITY
INCREASES. 500 MB TEMPS OF -15 C TO -19C WILL BE SUPPORTIVE OF
ISOLATED LARGE HAIL WITH THE MORE INTENSE CORES. IN
ADDITION...LOW-LEVEL LAPSE RATES HAVE STEEPENED SOME ACROSS ECNTRL
IL INTO WRN IND AS SHOWN ON MESOSANALYSIS WITH 0-3 KM LAPSE RATES
NOW AROUND 7.0 C/KM. THIS ALONG WITH THE STRONG WIND FIELDS AT
LOW-LEVELS MAY SUPPORT AN ISOLATED WIND DAMAGE AS CELLS MATURE LATE
THIS AFTERNOON. AN ISOLATED TORNADO THREAT COULD ALSO DEVELOP
ESPECIALLY IF THE CELLS CAN ROTATE AND PERSIST.

SUMMARY...AN ISOLATED SEVERE THREAT IS EXPECTED TO DEVELOP ACROSS
CNTRL IL INTO WRN IND THIS AFTERNOON. ISOLATED LARGE HAIL AND WIND
DAMAGE WILL INITIALLY BE THE MAIN THREAT. AN ISOLATED TORNADO THREAT
COULD ALSO DEVELOP LATER THIS AFTERNOON. WW ISSUANCE MAY BECOME
NECESSARY ACROSS THE REGION ONCE THE SCENARIO BEGINS TO UNFOLD.
DISCUSSION...THUNDERSTORMS ARE CURRENTLY INITIATING AND INCREASING
IN INTENSITY JUST TO THE EAST OF A DEEPENING SFC LOW CENTERED OVER
NE MO. THE STORMS ARE LOCATED ON THE NERN EDGE OF INSTABILITY AND ON
THE NOSE OF A MID-LEVEL JET MOVING INTO THE REGION FROM THE WEST
NORTHWEST. THE STRONG MID-LEVEL FLOW ASSOCIATED WITH THE JET IS
CREATING FAVORABLE SHEAR PROFILES FOR SEVERE STORMS IN SPITE OF THE
WEAK INSTABILITY IN PLACE. THE WSR-88D VWP AT SPRINGFIELD IL
CURRENTLY SHOWS ABOUT 65 KT OF 0-6 KM SHEAR WITH SUBSTANTIAL VEERING
WITH HEIGHT FROM 2 TO 3 KM. THIS COULD SUPPORT A SUPERCELL THREAT AS
LOW-LEVEL MOISTURE ADVECTS NWD INTO THE MCD AREA AND INSTABILITY
INCREASES. 500 MB TEMPS OF -15 C TO -19C WILL BE SUPPORTIVE OF
ISOLATED LARGE HAIL WITH THE MORE INTENSE CORES. IN
ADDITION...LOW-LEVEL LAPSE RATES HAVE STEEPENED SOME ACROSS ECNTRL
IL INTO WRN IND AS SHOWN ON MESOSANALYSIS WITH 0-3 KM LAPSE RATES
NOW AROUND 7.0 C/KM. THIS ALONG WITH THE STRONG WIND FIELDS AT
LOW-LEVELS MAY SUPPORT AN ISOLATED WIND DAMAGE AS CELLS MATURE LATE
THIS AFTERNOON. AN ISOLATED TORNADO THREAT COULD ALSO DEVELOP
ESPECIALLY IF THE CELLS CAN ROTATE AND PERSIST.

TORNADOES AND PERHAPS LOCALLY DAMAGING WINDS.
DISCUSSION...REMNANTS OF TROPICAL SYSTEM ISAAC ARE DRIFTING SLOWLY
EWD ACROSS MO EARLY THIS AFTERNOON. DOWNSTREAM...PARTIAL BREAKS IN
CLOUD COVER HAVE CONTRIBUTED TO STEEPENING LOW LEVEL LAPSE RATES
WITHIN THE BOUNDARY LAYER ACROSS IL. THIS APPEARS TO BE MOSTLY
RESPONSIBLE FOR INCREASE IN SMALL DISCRETE SHOWERS THAT HAVE
DEVELOPED ACROSS MUCH OF CNTRL IL WITHIN FAVORABLY MOIST BUT
MARGINALLY SHEARED ENVIRONMENT. SEVERAL REPORTS OF TORNADOES HAVE
BEEN NOTED WITH THESE SMALL SHOWERS AND ADDITIONAL SHORT-LIVED WEAK
TORNADOES COULD OCCUR.
ADDITIONALLY...A NARROW LINE OF CONVECTION IS GRADUALLY INCREASING
IN INTENSITY ACROSS WCNTRL IL AND THIS APPEARS LOOSELY CORRELATED
WITH A MID LEVEL DRY INTRUSION AND POSSIBLE MID LEVEL VORT LOBE.
ALTHOUGH LIGHTNING HAS YET TO BE NOTED WITH THIS ACTIVITY ADDITIONAL
HEATING SHOULD CONTRIBUTE TO MORE INTENSE UPDRAFTS. LOCALLY
DAMAGING WINDS MAY ULTIMATELY EVOLVE WITH THIS SQUALL LINE ALONG
WITH THE POSSIBILITY FOR ISOLATED TORNADOES.

CONCERNING...SEVERE POTENTIAL...WATCH LIKELY
VALID 011741Z - 011845Z
PROBABILITY OF WATCH ISSUANCE...95 PERCENT
SUMMARY...AFTERNOON HEATING WILL CONTRIBUTE TO FURTHER
DESTABILIZATION ACROSS IL YIELDING AN INCREASING THREAT FOR ISOLATED
TORNADOES AND PERHAPS LOCALLY DAMAGING WINDS.
