    Areas affected...Portions of central Illinois into far western Indiana

    Concerning...Severe potential...Watch unlikely

    Valid 021448Z - 021645Z

    Probability of Watch Issuance...20 percent

    SUMMARY...Currently elevated storms in central Illinois will move
    eastward. Marginally severe hail and isolated damaging winds are
    possible. A watch is not currently expected.

    DISCUSSION...A cluster of elevated storms are moving eastward in
    west-central Illinois. Steep mid-level lapse rates (observed on the
    12Z ILX sounding), strong shear, and strong moisture return will
    allow occasionally intensification of this activity. Marginally
    severe hail as well as isolated damaging winds are possible with the
    strongest storms.

    Muted surface heating is occurring ahead of and south of this
    activity through a thick cirrus canopy. Moisture return is also
    pushing dewpoints into the low 60s F as far north as Springfield,
    IL. Through time, the southern fringe of this activity may become
    surface based and pose a greater severe risk. At least in the short
    term, however, watch is not expected.

    Areas affected...Portions of far east-central IL into central IN

    Concerning...Severe potential...Watch possible

    Valid 201235Z - 201430Z

    Probability of Watch Issuance...40 percent

    SUMMARY...A small complex of thunderstorms may pose a gradually
    increasing threat for damaging winds over the next few hours. Watch
    issuance is possible later this morning if this activity can
    intensify.

    DISCUSSION...Thunderstorms are ongoing this morning across parts of
    central IL, aided by modest west-southwesterly low-level warm
    advection and a low-amplitude mid-level perturbation. This
    convection should continue to track generally east-southeastward
    this morning across parts of central IN along an instability
    gradient evident in latest mesoanalysis. While low/mid-level flow is
    not overly strong, recent VWPs from KILX/KIND do show some
    strengthening with height through mid levels. Resultant 25-30 kt of
    effective bulk shear should continue to support some updraft
    organization, with a recent supercell structure noted with a
    thunderstorm near the IL/IN border. If a small bowing cluster can
    become established as some recent high-resolution guidance suggests,
    then a greater threat for scattered severe/damaging winds may be
    realized across parts of central IN later this morning as the
    boundary layer gradually destabilizes with filtered daytime heating.
    While not immediately likely, Severe Thunderstorm Watch issuance may
    eventually be needed if the ongoing activity can intensify.
