Hoosier Posted May 6, 2012 Share Posted May 6, 2012 AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE CHICAGO/ROMEOVILLE IL 402 PM CDT SUN MAY 6 2012 MESOSCALE DISCUSSION 358 PM CDT ONGOING CONVECTION ACROSS THE SOUTHERN FORECAST AREA IS ROOTED ALONG THE SURFACE SYNOPTIC BOUNDARY AS WELL AS NEAR AN OLD OUTFLOW BOUNDARY FROM MORNING CONVECTION. A TIGHT SURFACE BASED INSTABILITY GRADIENT EXISTS IN THIS AREA...WITH NEARLY 4000 J/KG OF UNINHIBITED CAPE TO THE IMMEDIATE SOUTH. REPORTS OF WALL CLOUDS/LOWERING ROTATION HAVE VERIFIED THESE STORMS ARE ROOTED LOW...ESPECIALLY IN THE DISCRETE SUPERCELLULAR STORMS WITHIN THIS DEVELOPING COMPLEX. THE TORNADO THREAT IS ENHANCED IN THIS ISOLATED AREA FROM THE PANHANDLE OF LASALLE COUNTY THROUGH SOUTHERN NEWTON COUNTY AND SOUTHWARD...BY A POOL OF OVER 100 J/KG OF 0-3 KM MLCAPE...AS WELL AS BACKED LOW-LEVEL MOIST INFLOW. THERE WILL CONTINUE TO BE A TORNADO AND LARGE HAIL THREAT WITH ANY OF THESE MORE DISCRETE STORMS...BUT A PRIMARY HEAVY RAIN THREAT IN THIS AREA AND POTENTIALLY A DEVELOPING WIND THREAT AS A COLD POOL ORGANIZES AND CELL MERGERS OCCUR. THE RAINFALL RATES WITH THESE STORMS ARE VERY HEAVY AND PROPORGATION IS SLOW...WITH ANALYZED PROPAGATION VECTORS INDICATING A GRADUAL EAST DRIFT.

Hoosier Posted May 6, 2012 Share Posted May 6, 2012 Really seeing a lot of conglomeration with the IL cells now, so while hail is still a threat we could also see some increasing locally damaging wind threat if this type of trend continues.
