Areas affected...Northeast Iowa...southwest Wisconsin...northwest
Illinois
Concerning...Severe Thunderstorm Watch 468...
Valid 302220Z - 010015Z
The severe weather threat for Severe Thunderstorm Watch 468
continues.
SUMMARY...The severe threat for WW468 continues with severe
wind/hail as the main threats. Storms may push/develop south and
east of the current watch and a local watch expansion may be
necessary.
DISCUSSION...A MCS continues to move south/southeast along an
instability gradient across northeast Iowa into southwest Wisconsin.
With 3000-4500 J/kg of MLCAPE ahead of the western portions of the
MCS, storms should continue to propagate/develop south/southeastward
into the evening. Given the storm mode and steep low-level lapse
rates ahead of the storms, severe wind is the most likely severe
threat. Large hail is also possible given relatively steep mid-level
lapse rates, the aforementioned large MLCAPE, and being on the
periphery of marginal effective bulk shear (30-35 knots).
Eastern portions of the MCS still has good inflow from the
southwest, but it will encounter a more stable airmass that was
convectively overturned by the previous MCS. However, there should
be corridor just outside of the current watch in northwest Illinois
and possibly southwest Wisconsin where the environment could support
severe storms. Additionally, given the current structure of the MCS
and instability ahead of it, it may move south of the watch in the
coming hours. Due to these likely scenarios, a local watch expansion
or a small new watch may be necessary.
