Areas affected...portions of northern Illinois...northern
Indiana...southern parts of Lower Michigan
Concerning...Severe Thunderstorm Watch 540...
Valid 242139Z - 242315Z
The severe weather threat for Severe Thunderstorm Watch 540
continues.
SUMMARY...Scattered strong to severe thunderstorms should persist
across portions of the OH Valley through the remainder of the
evening, with severe gusts the main threat. Convective trends will
be monitored for the need of a Severe Thunderstorm Watch issuance in
southeast Lower MI.
DISCUSSION...Scattered multicells and short bowing segments have
been percolating in intensity over northern IL to far southwestern
Lower MI over the past few hours. Multiple damaging gusts have been
reported, some measured over 50 kts in magnitude. Though vertical
wind shear remains modest across the southern Great Lakes (e.g.
25-35 kts of effective bulk shear), over 2500 J/kg MLCAPE exist in
some spots, which will encourage additional water-loaded downdrafts
given 1.8-2.0 inch PWATs in place. Strong to severe gusts remain a
concern through the remainder of the afternoon. It is unclear how
far east the severe gust threat will persist. However, convective
trends will continue to be monitored for the need of a Severe
Thunderstorm Watch issuance should the severe threat persist.
