    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.
