    Valid 160100Z - 161200Z

    ...THERE IS A MODERATE RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS FROM NORTHERN ILLINOIS/SOUTHERN WISCONSIN INTO NORTHWEST INDIANA....

    ...THERE IS A SLIGHT RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS SURROUNDING THE
    MODERATE RISK AND ACROSS PORTIONS OF THE NORTHEAST...AND CENTRAL
    HIGH PLAINS...

    ...SUMMARY...
    Damaging squall line will surge across northern Illinois and extreme
    southern Wisconsin this evening, subsequently advancing into
    northern Indiana/southern lower Michigan overnight. Winds may gust
    in excess of 75mph along the surging bow.

    ...01z Update...

    Southern influence of upper MS Valley short-wave trough appears to
    be encouraging convection across the upper Midwest early this
    evening. Latest radar data exhibits marked upscale growth in an MCS
    that now extends from southern WI, arcing southwest across northwest
    IL into southeast IA. Substantial precip shield/cold pool is
    evolving which will aid forward propagation downstream into a
    reservoir of buoyancy that is characterized by MLCAPE in excess of
    4000 J/kg, as far east as portions of Indiana. Numerous severe wind
    gusts have been reported with this evolving complex and this will
    continue as the leading squall line surges across northern IL toward
    southern Lake Michigan (including greater Chicago Metro). While
    damaging winds will be common, embedded tornadoes are expected along
    the QLCS.

    Downstream across NY, scattered damaging wind reports continue with
    a broken squall line that is advancing into the Hudson Valley. This
    convection is moving through the primary instability axis, and
    gradual weakening is expected further east across New England.
