Concerning...Tornado Watch 96... Valid 312050Z - 312145Z The severe weather threat for Tornado Watch 96 continues. SUMMARY...The risk for hail and tornadoes will continue across WW93 as storms approach the Chicago metro. DISCUSSION...A cluster of supercells across north-central IL should continue northeastward reaching the western Chicago Suburbs and southern WI over the next 1-2 hours. Numerous reports of severe hail have been received this afternoon and should continue as storms track northeastward. Around 1000 J/kg of MUCAPE and 60+ kt of effective shear strongly favor hail production with a supercell mode. A risk for tornadoes may also evolve as storms approach the more strongly sheared warm frontal zone over southern WI and northeastern IL. Though this is more uncertain owing to more marginal surface dewpoints in the mid to upper 50s F. ...Lyons.. 03/31/2023 ....Please see https://urldefense.com/v3/__http://www.spc.noaa.gov__;!!DZ3fj= g!7XFjahb83rDjkcHk-FkTdtzLogxaI4WqzPKEU-ZukDcVg3qcrAYP52BQGla3_8oB9B2hEjH4l= yX3DlyUrfRN_n3XrUE$ for graphic product...
