AREAS AFFECTED...PORTIONS OF THE WESTERN GREAT LAKES REGION
CONCERNING...SEVERE THUNDERSTORM WATCH 387...
VALID 242228Z - 250000Z
THE SEVERE WEATHER THREAT FOR SEVERE THUNDERSTORM WATCH 387
CONTINUES.
SUMMARY...THE RISK FOR PRIMARILY LARGE HAIL AND DAMAGING WIND GUSTS
CONTINUES ACROSS SEVERE THUNDERSTORM WATCH 387. A BRIEF TORNADO OR
TWO ALSO REMAIN POSSIBLE.
DISCUSSION...REGIONAL RADAR IMAGERY DEPICTS WIDELY SCATTERED
THUNDERSTORMS ONGOING FROM NORTHERN WISCONSIN SOUTHWARD INTO
NORTHERN ILLINOIS, WITH A MIXED MODE OF SUPERCELLS AND CLUSTERS
NOTED AS OF 2220 UTC. THIS CONVECTION HAS PRODUCED SEVERAL REPORTS
OF LARGE HAIL (UP TO 1.25" IN DIAMETER) OVER THE PAST 1-2 HOURS,
WITH SPORADIC REPORTS OF WIND DAMAGE AND BRIEF FUNNEL CLOUDS ALSO
RECEIVED. THIS RISK WILL PERSIST OVER THE NEXT COUPLE OF HOURS AS
CONVECTION EVOLVES EAST-SOUTHEASTWARD TOWARDS LAKE MICHIGAN.
THE GREATEST SEVERE POTENTIAL APPEARS TO EXIST ACROSS THE SOUTHERN
HALF OF THE SEVERE THUNDERSTORM WATCH AREA, WHERE GREATER BUOYANCY
EXISTS WITHIN THE HAIL GROWTH ZONE, WHICH MAY PROMOTE AN INSTANCE OR
TWO OF LARGE HAIL APPROACHING GOLF BALL SIZE. MODESTLY STEEPER
LOW-LEVEL LAPSE RATES WILL ALSO CONTINUE TO PROMOTE THE POTENTIAL
FOR DAMAGING WIND GUSTS. LASTLY, A BRIEF TORNADO OR TWO CANNOT BE
RULED OUT, ESPECIALLY WHERE LOW-LEVEL SRH IS MODESTLY ENHANCED IN
THE VICINITY OF THE LAKE BREEZE.
