Valid 012221Z - 012315Z The severe weather threat for Severe Thunderstorm Watch 305 continues. SUMMARY...The threat for large hail and damaging winds continues in severe thunderstorm watch 305. DISCUSSION...The cluster of storms in southeast Wisconsin has now mostly moved over the cool waters of Lake Michigan which should limit the severe threat while over the lake. In the wake of this convection, the boundary layer is stable in southeast Wisconsin should limit any additional severe weather threat. Farther south, rigorous updraft development has occurred across northern Illinois in an environment with MLCAPE around 1000 to 1500 J/kg and deep layer shear around 25 to 30 knots (per LOT VWP). This combination of instability and shear will continue to support multicell storm mode with a hail threat initially (Given the very steep mid-level lapse rates of 8.4 C/km per DVN 12Z RAOB). As storms eventually congeal, expect the damaging wind threat to increase. Storms have started to develop south of the current watch which may necessitate a local extension of WW305 across the LOT CWA. Trends will continue to be monitored to determine whether this will be necessary. ..Bentley/Thompson.. 06/01/2019 ...Please see www.spc.noaa.gov for graphic product... ATTN...WFO...LOT...MKX...DVN...
