Valid 260316Z - 260515Z The severe weather threat for Severe Thunderstorm Watch 658 continues. SUMMARY...A severe threat is expected to continue across southeast Illinois and southwest Indiana. Large hail and wind damage will be the primary threats. A watch extension has been locally extended into more of southwest Indiana. DISCUSSION...The latest high-resolution radar imagery from Lincoln, Illinois show a short bowing line of severe storms over eastern Illinois. Recently, wind gusts of over 40 knots have been observed at Decatur, Mattoon, and Champaign, Illinois. This line is located near a quasi-stationary front extending eastward across south-central Illinois and south-central Indiana. Near this front, strong instability is present with the RAP showing MLCAPE in the 3500 to 4500 J/kg range. The linear convective system is moving near 40 knots to the east-southeast. This, along with steep low-level lapse rates evident on forecast soundings, will be favorable for a wind-damage threat over the next few hours. The greatest wind-damage potential will likely exist along the path of the bow's apex. Gusts in excess of 60 knots, and isolated large hail will likely accompany the most intense parts of this convective line. ...Broyles.. 08/26/2023 ....Please see https://urldefense.com/v3/__http://www.spc.noaa.gov__;!!DZ3fj= g!9IYc_F4jB7QgMW753GRKXjnT8dyG85mJGqLlI6Xi6jXNYbyXRw3z5ZEFxPamXpxC_GskWz17e= lqjUMMKYjfErjXNupY$ for graphic product...
