This Hazardous Weather Outlook is for portions of North Central

Significant Thunderstorm Risk...with an associated:
Elevated Damaging Wind Risk...up to 80 mph.
Limited Hail Risk...up to quarter size.

DISCUSSION...

While there is a small chance for a few thunderstorms early this
morning, more robust thunderstorms are expected to develop with a
cold front approaching far northern IL in the 1 to 3 pm timeframe.
Once storms initiate, rapid intensification could support some
isolated instances of hail. However, strong potentially
destructive winds are expected to quickly become the primary
severe threat through the late afternoon and early evening hours.
A tornado or two is also possible.

Very heavy rainfall is also expected to accompany these storms,
and this could result in areas of flooding, especially in any
locales that experience prolonged periods of storms.

No hazardous weather is expected at this time.

.SPOTTER INFORMATION STATEMENT...

Spotters will likely be needed this afternoon and evening.
