Special Weather Statement 16:45:21.5971779

...SPECIAL WEATHER STATEMENT...

AT 443 PM CDT...NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE DOPPLER RADAR INDICATED
STRONG THUNDERSTORMS ALONG A LINE EXTENDING FROM HARVARD TO POPLAR
GROVE TO ROCKFORD...MOVING EAST AT 30 MPH.

UP TO PENNY SIZE HAIL...WINDS TO 50 MPH...FREQUENT CLOUD TO GROUND
LIGHTNING...AND BRIEF HEAVY DOWNPOURS...ARE EXPECTED WITH THESE
STORMS.

CITIES AND TOWNS AFFECTED...
LOVES PARK... MACHESNEY PARK... ROCKFORD...
POPLAR GROVE... CAPRON... HARVARD...
HEBRON... CHERRY VALLEY... BELVIDERE...

OTHER LOCATIONS AFFECTED...
BOONE COUNTY FAIRGROUNDS...ROCK CUT STATE PARK...ROCK VALLEY
COLLEGE...ROCKFORD RIVERHAWKS BASEBALL...ROCKFORD SPEEDWAY...

PRECAUTIONARY/PREPAREDNESS ACTIONS...

GUSTY WINDS MAY CAUSE SMALL BRANCHES TO BE BLOWN DOWN...AND LOOSE
OBJECTS TO BLOW AROUND. STAY AWAY FROM HIGH OBJECTS OUTDOORS SUCH AS
TREES. HEAVY RAINFALL COULD LEAD TO STANDING WATER ON ROADWAYS AND
POOR VISIBILITY. SEEK SHELTER IN A STURDY STRUCTURE UNTIL THESE
STORMS HAVE PASSED.

Mesoscale Discussion 16:23:42.5843177

AREAS AFFECTED...PORTIONS OF WRN/NRN IL AND FAR SRN WI

CONCERNING...SEVERE POTENTIAL...WATCH UNLIKELY

VALID 262123Z - 262330Z

PROBABILITY OF WATCH ISSUANCE...20 PERCENT

SUMMARY...A FEW STORMS MAY PRODUCE STRONG TO MARGINALLY SVR WIND
GUSTS DURING THE NEXT FEW HOURS. WHILE CONVECTIVE TRENDS WILL BE
MONITORED...THE ISSUANCE OF A WW IS CURRENTLY UNLIKELY.

DISCUSSION...THUNDERSTORMS CONTINUE TO BE MAINTAINED ALONG AND
IMMEDIATELY AHEAD OF A COLD FRONT THAT ARCS FROM S-CNTRL WI INTO
NWRN IL AND NERN MO. THE AIR MASS AHEAD OF THIS FRONT IS ONLY
MARGINALLY UNSTABLE OWING TO RELATIVELY COOL SFC TEMPERATURES
ASSOCIATED WITH WIDESPREAD CLOUD COVERAGE/EARLIER PRECIPITATION.
HOWEVER...LOT VWP DATA INDICATE AROUND 25-30 KT OF UNIDIRECTIONAL
FLOW THROUGH THE CLOUD LAYER BELOW 5 KM AGL. AND...WITH AT LEAST
MODEST DEEP SHEAR ACCOMPANYING THE ENHANCED MID-LEVEL FLOW...ALONG
WITH AT LEAST SOME INSTABILITY BEING MAINTAINED IN ASSOCIATION WITH
DCVA ATTENDANT TO A MID-LEVEL SHORTWAVE IMPULSE CROSSING THE
REGION...ORGANIZED CONVECTIVE CLUSTERS INCLUDING MULTICELLS MAY
ENSUE. A FEW INSTANCES OF MARGINALLY SVR WIND GUSTS CANNOT BE RULED
OUT. HOWEVER...THE SPATIOTEMPORAL EXTENT OF SUCH POTENTIAL WILL BE
LIMITED...AS STORMS LIKELY OUTRUN ANY SUBSTANTIVE PRE-FRONTAL
INSTABILITY IN THE NEXT FEW HOURS AS THEY ADVANCE INTO ERN IL WHERE
CLOUDS ARE MORE WIDESPREAD/OPAQUE. IN THE MEANTIME...INSTABILITY IS
EXPECTED TO BE TOO LIMITED FOR A MORE SUBSTANTIAL SVR THREAT TO
EVOLVE.

CONCERNING...SEVERE THUNDERSTORM WATCH 434...

VALID 230208Z - 230315Z

THE SEVERE WEATHER THREAT FOR SEVERE THUNDERSTORM WATCH 434
CONTINUES.

SUMMARY...THUNDERSTORM POTENTIAL IS EXPECTED TO INCREASE OVER THE
NEXT FEW HOURS ALONG THE WI/IL BORDER. LOCALLY DAMAGING WINDS AND
MARGINALLY SEVERE HAIL ARE THE PRIMARY THREATS.

DISCUSSION...A SLOWLY EXPANDING PRECIP SHIELD SHOULD ENCOURAGE A
COLD POOL THAT WILL DRIVE CONVECTION EWD ALONG THE WI/IL BORDER INTO
THE LATE EVENING HOURS. WHILE OVERALL INTENSITY MAY SUBSIDE A
BIT...RESULTING IN MORE MARGINAL HAIL...LOCALLY DAMAGING WINDS MAY
ACCOMPANY N-S LINE SEGMENT AS IT PROGRESSES INTO NWRN IL AT ROUGHLY
35KT. THIS ACTIVITY MAY EVENTUALLY APPROACH THE WRN CHI METRO BUT
SEVERE THREAT IS EXPECTED TO BE CONSIDERABLY LESS BY THAT TIME.
