Wind has now become rather gusty from the se here. Lake wind advisory issued for the lower Wabash River region with gusts up to 30 mph. 72/64

5% tornado probs still maintained in slight outlook this afternoon up and down the length of the IL/IN border region. Nothing drastic but still similar to yesterday in Arklatex region.

No great lapse rates, but other parameters indicate today could produce some tornadoes in the Chi-town to Michiana and northern IN area especially this evening. Potent upper system heading se over IA. HRRR progs dew points well into the upper 60's pooling along the front by this evening. I agree that today is similar to yesterday in the Arklatex region. But if the current scattered clearing in far southern IL and near PAH can progress northward throughout the day and increase insolation we might have some surprises. Nothing slam dunk but will be a day to watch.

If I didn't know where this was I would have thought tornado warnings from a tropical system as well since the storms are moving to the nw from the se. Highly unusual for this date and location. Low topped cells but latest SPC meso indicates a few tornadoes have been reported and areas farther east could be in play as the LLJ ramps up this evening.

You got it.

Ya. I do think Chi town environs will be in for a bumpy night with those storms moving ne and storms coming in from the west. Probably a very good lightning show.

That tornado warned cell is on the far western edge of 200 m2 and higher helicity to the east in In and east of much higher helicity in se IA.

Just read that info on CNN news article. Well, at least we won't be able to say that cold air was lacking for our spring severe season in the U.S. My tulips are still blooming down here and my peonies just getting ready to open. Just heard it got down to 27 at Indy, a record for May.

Had the enjoyment of seeing their act several times while traveling through Vegas on vacation out west.
