Areas affected...Northern and central Illinois

Concerning...Severe potential...Watch likely=20

Valid 280058Z - 280200Z

Probability of Watch Issuance...80 percent

SUMMARY...Severe threat to increase through the rest of the evening.
A Watch downstream of WW150 will likely to be needed.

DISCUSSION...A line of thunderstorms is advancing north and eastward
across southern Iowa into northeastern Missouri this evening. This
line will eventually move into portions of northern and central
Illinois, with potential for additional thunderstorm development out
ahead of this line. Ahead of this ongoing activity, temperatures
remain in the mid 70s with dew points in the low to mid-60s. MUCAPE
around 1500-1700 J/kg is observed in objective analysis data and
sounding data from the 00z RAOB from ILX. Marginal deep layer shear
around 30-35 kts suggests the main threats will be damaging wind and
hail. Ahead of the line, more discrete development aligned with the
low-level jet axis moving across central Illinois may pose the risk
of a tornado if this activity continues to mature, though low-level
lapse rates may weaken and there is uncertainty regarding this
scenario.
