NWS STORM PREDICTION CENTER NORMAN OK

AREAS AFFECTED...SOUTHERN/EASTERN IL...WESTERN/NORTHERN
IN...SOUTHWEST LOWER MI
CONCERNING...SEVERE POTENTIAL...WATCH UNLIKELY
VALID 121944Z - 122145Z
PROBABILITY OF WATCH ISSUANCE...5 PERCENT
SUMMARY...SPORADIC STRONG GUSTS OF 45-60 MPH AND GENERALLY SMALL
HAIL TO 1 INCH IN DIAMETER WILL BE POSSIBLE WITH A BROKEN BAND OF
THUNDERSTORMS SLOWLY PROGRESSING FROM ILLINOIS INTO PARTS OF INDIANA
AND LOWER MICHIGAN. A SEVERE THUNDERSTORM WATCH IS NOT EXPECTED.
DISCUSSION...ALONG A BAND OF LOW-LEVEL CONFLUENCE, THUNDERSTORMS
HAVE BECOME INCREASINGLY NUMEROUS FROM SOUTHEAST MO INTO SOUTHWEST
LOWER MI. WITH SURFACE TEMPERATURES OF 86-91 F COMMON AHEAD OF THIS
ACTIVITY, TO THE WEST/NORTH OF SEPARATE CONVECTIVE OUTFLOW IN
CENTRAL IN, POTENTIAL FOR SPORADIC DOWNBURSTS EXISTS AMID WEAK
LOWER-LEVEL FLOW. AREA VWP DATA INDICATE 0-6 KM SHEAR AROUND 20 KTS
ACROSS IL INTO IN, TO AROUND 25 KTS IN SOUTHWEST LOWER MI. SPEED
CHANGE WITH HEIGHT IS LARGELY CONCENTRATED IN THE MID TO UPPER
PORTION OF THE BUOYANCY PROFILE. THIS SUGGESTS SMALL TO MARGINALLY
SEVERE HAIL MAY ACCOMPANY THE STRONGEST UPDRAFTS. LOOSE MULTICELL
CLUSTERING MAY SUPPORT A LOCALIZED, MARGINAL SEVERE WIND THREAT.
BASED ON LATEST TRENDS, THIS COULD BE CENTERED IN CORRIDORS ACROSS
THE IL/IN/MI BORDER AREA WITH ONGOING STORMS NEAR/SOUTH OF
CHICAGOLAND AND SEPARATELY TO THE EAST-NORTHEAST OF STORMS NEAR/EAST
OF ST. LOUIS.
