Areas affected...northern Illinois/Indiana and vicinity

Concerning...Severe potential...Watch possible

Valid 092320Z - 100115Z

Probability of Watch Issuance...40 percent

SUMMARY...A brief, weak tornado or two are possible across northern
Illinois/Indiana and possibly into far southwest Michigan. While the
severe threat is likely isolated, trends will be monitored for a
possible tornado watch.

DISCUSSION...Tropical Depression Cristobal is continuing to move
northward across the Midwest with a deep, well defined surface low
in eastern Iowa/northwest Illinois. Breaks in the clouds across
portions of central/northern Illinois/Indiana has led to some
stronger instability with satellite/radar imagery showing a slight
uptick in convection recently. Low-level shear remains strong with
larger hodographs east of the surface low. Transient weak rotation
has been observed with a few convective cells, but convection is
remaining somewhat weak, with relatively narrow updrafts. However,
given the presence of low-level helicity and potential convective
intensification associated with increasing destabilization, a couple
of brief, weak tornadoes and convectively-aided strong wind gusts
are possible across the area this evening.
