<pre>ACUS11 KWNS 070404

Mesoscale Discussion 0291
NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK
1103 PM CDT Mon Apr 06 2020

Areas affected...northern Illinois into northwest Ohio

Concerning...Severe potential...Watch unlikely

Valid 070403Z - 070630Z

Probability of Watch Issuance...5 percent

SUMMARY...Storms will increase in coverage tonight, with mainly
small hail expected. Isolated cells may produce hail approaching 1".

DISCUSSION...Showers are beginning to form over northern IL in a
zone of low-level warm advection which is aiding lift and
destabilization. 00Z soundings from DVN and ILX show steep midlevel
lapse rates, with unstable parcels originating above 850 mb. Within
the cloud bearing layer, sufficient shear was noted to sustain storm
cells.

With a continued influx of relatively moist air from the southwest,
and PWAT approaching 1.00", the result should be increasing coverage
of elevated storms, moving in an east/southeastward direction. While
hail will be the main threat, locally strong wind gusts cannot be
ruled out from northern IN into OH, conditional on sufficient
clustering of downdrafts.
