AREAS AFFECTED...PORTIONS OF EXTREME SOUTHEAST ILLINOIS INTO FAR
SOUTHWESTERN INDIANA
CONCERNING...SEVERE THUNDERSTORM WATCH 208...
VALID 162210Z - 162315Z
THE SEVERE WEATHER THREAT FOR SEVERE THUNDERSTORM WATCH 208
CONTINUES.
SUMMARY...A LOCALIZED SWATH OF DAMAGING TO SEVERE GUSTS MAY OCCUR
OVER THE NEXT FEW HOURS, WITH PEAK GUSTS IN THE 65-75 MPH RANGE
POSSIBLE.
DISCUSSION...TRANSIENT SUPERCELLS HAVE RECENTLY SHOWN UPSCALE GROWTH
TRENDS, LEADING TO MCS DEVELOPMENT, WITH MULTIPLE 60+ MPH ESTIMATED
GUSTS NOTED OVER THE PAST HOUR. AHEAD OF THIS MCS RESIDES A
CONVECTIVE OUTFLOW BOUNDARY LEFT BEHIND BY PREVIOUS MULTICELLS.
SHOULD THE MCS FURTHER ORGANIZE, IT IS LIKELY THAT THE MCS WOULD
TRAVERSE THIS BOUNDARY, INGESTING LOCALIZED VORTICITY AND
POTENTIALLY DEVELOPING MESOVORTICES. IF THIS SCENARIO OCCURS, A
FOCUSED SWATH OF STRONG TO SEVERE GUSTS MAY OCCUR, WITH GUSTS
PEAKING IN THE 65-75 MPH RANGE.
