Areas affected...Portions of southern IL/IN
Concerning...Severe potential...Watch possible=20
Valid 211506Z - 211700Z
Probability of Watch Issuance...40 percent
SUMMARY...A cluster of thunderstorms may strengthen over the next
couple of hours and become capable of producing scattered damaging
winds. Watch issuance is possible.
DISCUSSION...At 15Z, a small cluster of thunderstorms is ongoing
along/near the MS River in the vicinity of St. Louis MO. This
activity is probably still slightly elevated to the north of a
surface boundary and outflow from prior convection. However, the
airmass downstream across parts of southern IL/IN is in the process
of destabilizing, with diurnal heating promoting surface
temperatures to rise generally into the 70s per recent observations.
A fairly moist low-level airmass is also in place across this area,
along with modestly steepened mid-level lapse rates per 12Z sounding
from ILX. This cluster may become surface based over the next couple
of hours as it spreads into southern IL/IN and encounters greater
instability. Given the already linear mode, scattered damaging winds
should be the main threat, although some hail may also occur.
Convective trends will be closely monitored for signs of increasing thunderstorm intensity, which may prompt watch issuance in next
couple of hours.
