NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK
1154 AM CDT Tue Jun 29 2021
Areas affected...Illinois...northwest Indiana...southern
Michigan...and far northwest Ohio
Concerning...Severe potential...Watch unlikely
Valid 291654Z - 291900Z
Probability of Watch Issuance...20 percent
SUMMARY...Sporadic wind damage will be possible as storms develop
during the late morning/early afternoon hours. Severe coverage
should be limited, so a watch is not expected.
DISCUSSION...GOES visible imagery shows a couple of developing
thunderstorms and agitated cumulus along two outflow boundaries
south/southeast of the Grand Rapids, MI area and across central to
northeast IL. Ahead of these boundaries, a growing cumulus field has
developed across eastern IL into IN and southern MI, indicative of
diurnal destabilization. Further destabilization is expected through
the afternoon as temperatures continue to rise in to the upper 80s
low 90s amid dewpoints in the low 70s. Moderate instability (near
2000 J/kg MLCAPE) will be in place along/ahead of these boundaries
by early afternoon, and deep-layer shear over the region should
remain sufficient for some organized convection. Regional VWP
observations sampled 20 (35) knots of 0-3 km (0-6 km) shear, which
will likely favor thunderstorm clusters along the boundaries through
the early/mid afternoon. Sporadic wind damage will be possible,
especially if cold pools can align orthogonal to the mean
southwesterly flow/low-level shear vectors. Severe storms will
likely be limited in coverage owing to the limited spatial overlap
of favorable buoyancy and stronger winds aloft, so a watch is not
likely.
