NWS STORM PREDICTION CENTER NORMAN OK
0634 PM CDT WED JUN 24 2026
AREAS AFFECTED...PORTIONS OF NORTHWESTERN INDIANA
CONCERNING...SEVERE POTENTIAL...WATCH UNLIKELY
VALID 242334Z - 250100Z
PROBABILITY OF WATCH ISSUANCE...20 PERCENT
SUMMARY...A DOWNSTREAM SEVERE THUNDERSTORM WATCH APPEARS UNLIKELY AT
THIS TIME, BUT TRENDS WILL CONTINUE TO BE MONITORED.
DISCUSSION...LATEST SURFACE ANALYSIS DEPICTS A SURFACE
TEMPERATURE/THERMAL GRADIENT IN PLACE ACROSS PORTIONS OF NORTHERN
INDIANA. DESPITE DENSE CLOUD COVER, LOW-LEVEL WARM, MOIST AIR
ADVECTION HAS RESULTED IN TEMPERATURES AND DEWPOINTS RISING INTO THE
MID-70S AND LOW-60S F, RESPECTIVELY, SOUTH OF THIS BOUNDARY. WHILE
LATEST OBJECTIVE ANALYSIS INDICATES THAT BUOYANCY REMAINS NEGLIGIBLE
(LESS THAN 250 J/KG MLCAPE) ACROSS THIS AREA, RECENT HIGH-RES
GUIDANCE SUGGESTS THAT WEAK DESTABILIZATION MAY OCCUR SOUTH OF THIS
SURFACE BOUNDARY OVER THE NEXT 1-2 HOURS PRECEDING THE ARRIVAL OF
CONVECTION CURRENTLY ONGOING ACROSS NORTHERN/NORTHEASTERN ILLINOIS.
THE OVERALL EXPECTATION IS FOR CONVECTION TO WEAKEN AS IT
APPROACHES/ENTERS NORTHWESTERN INDIANA OWING TO THE AFOREMENTIONED
WEAKER BUOYANCY AND WANING DIURNAL CYCLE. THUS, DOWNSTREAM WATCH
ISSUANCE APPEARS UNLIKELY AT THIS TIME. TRENDS WILL CONTINUE TO BE
MONITORED, HOWEVER, AS EFFECTIVE SHEAR OF 35-40+ KTS MAY ALLOW A
LOW-END SEVERE RISK TO PERSIST INTO NORTHWESTERN INDIANA.
