Valid 182038Z - 182215Z The severe weather threat for Severe Thunderstorm Watch 599 continues. SUMMARY...The damaging wind threat is increasing across northeast Illinois and southeast Wisconsin. DISCUSSION...The earlier line of storms mostly weakened/broke apart as it moved across southern Wisconsin and northern Illinois. However, additional storms have started to develop along the remnant outflow in north-central Illinois. This will likely bring a renewed severe weather focus this afternoon, especially if storms congeal into a eastward moving cluster. Strong instability amid upper 70s dewpoints will provide a thermodynamic environment favorable for damaging wind gusts. In addition, mid-level flow has started to strengthen somewhat on the LOT VWP (~30 knots) which may aid in storm maintenance and this more organized threat. ...Bentley.. 08/18/2025 ....Please see https://urldefense.com/v3/__http://www.spc.noaa.gov__;!!DZ3fj= g!93eIJSovMLFqQKl7Xns8bpAmtrp-IzdBapKyuyVq6-Zd-dwvTIqa1IktJ_RRQHue9r77X_RNE= TzArqWxKbLsEYoKqHg$ for graphic product...
