Area is being monitored for watch potential. DISCUSSION...A conditional severe threat will be possible this afternoon across the Chicago Metro into northern Indiana. A remnant outflow boundary located across the northern Chicago metro into northern Indiana may be the focus of potential development of supercells this afternoon. The air mass has seen some recovery after morning convection but mid-level capping remains, as observed from ACARS soundings out of the Chicago-Midway Airport. A vort max is moving swiftly over Lake Michigan. Visible satellite has shown a persistent cu field with some agitation noted in the last hour to hour and half which may indicate some weakening in the cap. Satellite also shows drier mid-level air is moving in from the west with evidence of mixing. Confidence in development remains low at this time, given time of day and the quick movement of the vort max. However, should supercells develop and track along the boundary, strong deep layer shear does support a conditional risk severe storms including tornadoes. Trends in this area are be monitored closely for watch potential. ...Thornton/Hart.. 07/26/2023 ....Please see https://urldefense.com/v3/__http://www.spc.noaa.gov__;!!DZ3fj= g!7u3D0xN49UPUaDSQjKIg3nxm732bDT4ekMQTu1WC4yZ1FFR33bPA-_OXMCoZJ13C3eIodWmw8= tBkVCq-37grpcw8HYM$ for graphic product...
