AREAS AFFECTED...CNTRL IL/IND...SWRN OH

CONCERNING...SEVERE THUNDERSTORM WATCH 628...630...

VALID 072022Z - 072115Z

THE SEVERE WEATHER THREAT FOR SEVERE THUNDERSTORM WATCH
628...630...CONTINUES.

SUMMARY...CONVECTION IS BLOSSOMING ALONG/BEHIND COLD FRONT FROM NERN
MO TO CNTRL IL...WITH REMNANT CONVECTION PERSISTING ALONG THE
OUTFLOW BOUNDARY EXTENDING INTO SWRN OH. PARTS OF WW 628 WILL LIKELY
BE REPLACED WITH A NEW WW PRIOR TO 21Z.

DISCUSSION...STRENGTHENING LARGE-SCALE ASCENT APPEARS TO BE YIELDING
RAPIDLY INCREASING CONVECTIVE COVERAGE FROM NERN MO TO CNTRL IL. 20Z
SURFACE ANALYSIS PLACED A GRADUALLY ACCELERATING COLD FRONT FROM JLN
TO SPI...INTERSECTING A W/E-ORIENTED OUTFLOW BOUNDARY TO IND TO 25 S
DAY. ALTHOUGH MOST OF THE UPSTREAM DEVELOPMENT APPEARS TO BE
OCCURRING ON THE COOL SIDE OF THE FRONT...THE COMBINATION OF
BUOYANCY/SHEAR IS ROBUST IN THE WARM SECTOR. WITH TSTMS PERSISTING
ALONG THE OUTFLOW BOUNDARY AFTER 22Z...A REPLACEMENT WW APPEARS TO
BE THE MOST PRUDENT COURSE OF ACTION.
