Watch issuance is possible later this morning if this activity can intensify. DISCUSSION...Thunderstorms are ongoing this morning across parts of central IL, aided by modest west-southwesterly low-level warm advection and a low-amplitude mid-level perturbation. This convection should continue to track generally east-southeastward this morning across parts of central IN along an instability gradient evident in latest mesoanalysis. While low/mid-level flow is not overly strong, recent VWPs from KILX/KIND do show some strengthening with height through mid levels. Resultant 25-30 kt of effective bulk shear should continue to support some updraft organization, with a recent supercell structure noted with a thunderstorm near the IL/IN border. If a small bowing cluster can become established as some recent high-resolution guidance suggests, then a greater threat for scattered severe/damaging winds may be realized across parts of central IN later this morning as the boundary layer gradually destabilizes with filtered daytime heating. While not immediately likely, Severe Thunderstorm Watch issuance may eventually be needed if the ongoing activity can intensify. ...Gleason.. 07/20/2025 ....Please see https://urldefense.com/v3/__http://www.spc.noaa.gov__;!!DZ3fj= g!56TslWi0hdEdvCJYNEsldRqa2U88lq7xcidv3AFN19xmnHiD_8Iz0SZ-8A-jDh0u4OLsuQSW0= r2lkmC1GQMzP9NX2HE$ for graphic product...
