Areas affected...north-central IL

Concerning...Severe potential...Watch unlikely=20

Valid 082244Z - 082345Z

Probability of Watch Issuance...20 percent

SUMMARY...Localized risk for a brief tornado or two may focus
through 6pm CST across north-central IL.

DISCUSSION...A focused mesoscale corridor across north-central IL is
becoming slightly more favorable for mesocyclones and the potential
for a brief tornado over the next hour or so. The latest forecast
soundings show rapid mid-level cooling (500 mb temperatures plunging
into the minus mid 20s deg C). Surface analysis shows a slightly
more moisture-rich airmass with dewpoints near 50 deg F across
north-central IL. The small surface temperature/dewpoint spreads
and adequate buoyancy and enlarged hodographs all suggest the
potential for a narrow window of opportunity for a brief tornado or
two during the next hour or so.
