Subj : MESO: Mesoscale Discussion 0479 To : wx-storm@lists.illinois.edu From : COD Weather Processor Date : Wed Apr 05 2023 10:20:11 ACUS11 KWNS 051020 SWOMCD SPC MCD 051019=20 INZ000-ILZ000-051145- Mesoscale Discussion 0479 NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK 0519 AM CDT Wed Apr 05 2023 Areas affected...southeast IL...southwest into central IN Concerning...Severe potential...Watch possible=20 Valid 051019Z - 051145Z Probability of Watch Issuance...40 percent SUMMARY...Widely scattered strong to severe thunderstorms primarily capable of damaging gusts (55-70 mph) are possible this morning. DISCUSSION...Radar mosaic shows a linear cluster of strong to severe thunderstorms over southern IL early this morning and embedded within a 60-kt LLJ. Surface observations over southwest into central IN indicate temperatures are in the low-mid 70s degree F and dewpoints are in the lower 60s. KMDH (Carbondale/Murphysboro, IL ASOS) recently observed a 58-kt gust at 0945 UTC. The VADs at KVWX and KIND show very strong southwesterly 0.5-2.0 km AGL flow (50-65 kt). RAP forecast soundings over the discussion area show around 1000 J/kg MUCAPE. The sufficient buoyancy and strength of the low-level flow will probably support a continued risk for damaging gusts into southeast IL/southwest IN and perhaps as far north into central IN later this morning. ...Smith/Edwards.. 04/05/2023 ....Please see https://urldefense.com/v3/__http://www.spc.noaa.gov__;!!DZ3fj= g!5Nzjt2Ql0LMM9-nQ7txnJXg-nZPdHJ0kr1lgeegy-1O6yaUeHM-PwfyHEHMN_-59NJGdaUt5U= YJSpkWunkd3aLp1iyg$ for graphic product...
