Hourly rain amounts to 2.5" with local totals to 4" are possible, which would be problematic in urban areas. Discussion...since 2330z, showers and thunderstorms have been developing, slowly growing in scale, and trying to align south and east of Peru IL within an area of low-level convergence. Hourly rain amounts in spots have exceeded 1.5" per radar estimates.=20 Precipitable water values are ~1.9 per GPS data. ML CAPE is 2500-3500 J/kg to their south. Effective bulk shear of 25-30 kts is trying to align the activity. The 12z & 18z HREF runs were insistent on this activity forming, whereas the 06z and 12z REFS had a much weaker signal, so used the HREF as a guide (outside of the IA contribution which is underperforming on the HREF). The convective packet is moving east-northeast at 15-20 kts, with individual cells moving quicker than the packet as a whole. Hourly rain amounts to 2.5" with local totals to 4" are possible over the next 3-4 hours. This could lead to problems in Chicagoland tonight.
