Valid 202041Z - 202215Z The severe weather threat for Tornado Watch 154 continues. SUMMARY...The threat for severe thunderstorms capable of all severe hazards, including tornadoes, will continue across northern IL and southern WI. DISCUSSION...A few discrete cells initialized along the front over the past hour and half, with a mostly discrete mode persisting until now. These cells have moved slightly off the front, supported by westerly/southwesterly deep-layer flow. If cell interactions can remain limited, these storms should continue to mature, with an associated threat for tornadogenesis. Storm mergers, whether from left splits or varying storm motion from more mature cells, could interrupt this maturing process. In either case, the downstream air mass remain modestly buoyant and strongly sheared and the threat for severe thunderstorms capable of all hazards will continue for the next few hours, particularly across northern IL. ...Mosier/Moore.. 04/20/2023 ....Please see https://urldefense.com/v3/__http://www.spc.noaa.gov__;!!DZ3fj= g!8iAwJO61DwpIc4kBnuRWwUl0wEG5-fMGpibC-tBvVoZnlri0tbPUwXPpo-A0prEOA1YZ54OFk= OUzoZ4pytGMEpcWB4E$ for graphic product...
