Yeah that squall line out in Iowa has that look to it like it's gonna rip for hours. Developing WAA wing south of the QC as well. Things could get real interesting around here in another hour or two.

Severe T'Storm Watch in effect for all of Northern Illinois, far Western Indiana and far SE Iowa until 4:00 PM.

couldn't of asked for anything better to wake up to....well I could of lol

this thing is going to rick roll northern IL later on, I will be heading out to watch this sucker.

Yeah I'll say it has a 75kt Mid Level Jet punching into its backside and the LLJ of 35-45kt is quickly catching up to it from the South.

Yeah I dont think this thing falls apart through N IL. The only concern I'd have is missing both Chicago and Detroit to the south.

normally i would say both chi. and det. would be on the northern edge as the mcs turns se to follow the instablity gradient, but with such a strong cap moving in from the south this thing just may move more ene then what you would normally see with mcs activity around here.

Btw I love how its 60kt out of the North talk about an unusual direction with an Eastward moving complex.

Not to mention the .72 in the hour, which is something many areas in N. IL/S. MI do not need.

Yeah, I'm wondering how the 1630Z package will handle this if this continues to be a well developed bowline or derecho by then. I'd imagine a moderate risk for wind being possible for N IL, N IN and at least SW lower MI.

SPC needs a moderate risk for N IL
