AREAS AFFECTED...PORTIONS OF NORTHERN AND CENTRAL ILLINOIS...CENTRAL
AND NORTHERN INDIANA...WESTERN OHIO
CONCERNING...SEVERE POTENTIAL...WATCH UNLIKELY
VALID 192152Z - 192315Z
PROBABILITY OF WATCH ISSUANCE...20 PERCENT
SUMMARY...ISOLATED SEVERE STORMS MAY DEVELOP ALONG A WEST-TO-EAST
ORIENTED BOUNDARY THROUGH THE REMAINDER OF THE AFTERNOON.
DISCUSSION...SCATTERED THUNDERSTORMS HAVE BEEN INCREASING IN
INTENSITY ALONG A DIFFUSE WEST-TO-EAST ORIENTED BOUNDARY EXTENDING
FROM CENTRAL AND NORTHERN ILLINOIS INTO WESTERN OHIO. ALONG THIS
BOUNDARY, OVER 1000 J/KG MLCAPE IS IN PLACE, ALONG WITH SUBSTANTIAL
0-3 KM CAPE (150-175 J/KG). FURTHERMORE, AN 80 KT 300 MB JET STREAK
IS OVERSPREADING THE OH VALLEY, CONTRIBUTING TO 50+ KTS OF EFFECTIVE
BULK SHEAR (MAINLY SPEED SHEAR IN THE MID TO UPPER LEVELS PER RAP
FORECAST SOUNDINGS). GIVEN THESE CONDITIONS, THE CURRENT THINKING IS
THAT A FEW OF THE STRONGER STORMS ALONG THIS BAROCLINIC BOUNDARY MAY
BECOME TRANSIENT SUPERCELLULAR, CAPABLE OF PRODUCING A COUPLE
INSTANCES OF SEVERE WIND/HAIL OR EVEN A BRIEF TORNADO.
