A watch is not anticipated. DISCUSSION...A strong low-level jet is in place across Illinois and Indiana, visible from regional VWPs, with isentropic ascent occurring along and north of a warm front running from north of St. Louis to south of Indianapolis. North of the warm front, mesoanalysis and short-term model guidance indicate marginal buoyancy (100-300 J/kg MUCAPE) aloft with moderate deep-layer shear (~30 kts of effective bulk shear). A few elevated cells have developed over east central Illinois and exhibit broad mid-level rotation and occasional three-body scatter spikes on WSR-88D radars. These cells should move to the east-northeast, though longevity is uncertain due to more meager buoyancy with northeastward extent. Given the weak buoyancy, expect marginally-severe hail and perhaps a strong wind gust. While trends will be monitored, a watch is not anticipated. ...Supinie/Weinman/Guyer.. 02/22/2023 ....Please see https://urldefense.com/v3/__http://www.spc.noaa.gov__;!!DZ3fj= g!9OwO_8Kx66OI9V5un7eVPfqzJfuj3Lz_ddGM2vTyp1-Rb7ASJPkYrFVJPj22JWCV6wBJtuoYw= K8DoKJF_pYaosNBzok$ for graphic product...
