Areas affected...east-central Missouri northeast to northern Indiana
Concerning...Severe Thunderstorm Watch 317...319...
Valid 260335Z - 260430Z
CORRECTED FOR INCORRECT WATCH NUMBERS
The severe weather threat for Severe Thunderstorm Watch 317, 319
continues.
SUMMARY...Severe threat continues to diminish across the watch
areas. A brief window of strong wind potential may remain across
eastern Illinois, but the overall convective trends suggest a new
watch likely will not be needed.
DISCUSSION...Overall thunderstorm severity continues to wane across
the watch areas as evidenced by weakening of MESH cores and warming
cloud tops. Additionally, given the loss of diurnal heating, low
level stability should slowly increase overnight, reducing the
potential for organized, severe thunderstorm outflows and brief
tornadoes. However, a recent measured wind gust of 59 knots at
Decatur, IL, reiterates that the wind potential, albeit low, does
remain. Current thinking is that the overall isolated nature of the
threat should preclude the need for a new watch, although a local
extension in time of Severe Thunderstorm Watch 317 may be needed if
the wind potential does not diminish as quickly as expected.
