    Areas affected...west-central Illinois

    Concerning...Severe Thunderstorm Watch 504...

    Valid 210130Z - 210300Z

    The severe weather threat for Severe Thunderstorm Watch 504
    continues.

    SUMMARY...The potential for locally damaging wind gusts will
    continue and may develop south of the watch area. Convective trends
    are being monitored for a possible downstream watch.

    DISCUSSION...As of 0115Z, a small cluster of thunderstorms was
    centered over Hancock and McDonough Counties, IL, with a system
    motion of 325/25 kt. While distant from the radar, base velocity
    data from KDVN show 60+ kt outbound values at ~7 kft above the
    ground. Latest objective fields indicate poor low-level lapse rates
    and increasing convective inhibition, which are likely limiting the
    potential for the stronger winds aloft from reaching the ground.
    These factors are expected to limit the potential for a more robust
    damaging wind threat; however, isolated wind gusts of 60-65 mph will
    remain possible for the next several hours.
