Severe Threat June 11-13

PDS Svr watch for NE IL with multiple discrete supercells organizing? Hmm.

Why? It seems reasonable to me given the forcing associated with the main impulse over NW IA. The secondary mesoscale low near Savanna, IL, is not likely to deepen substantially over/near the warm sector in the next few hours, that is, until the main impulse arrives. As Kevin said, the PDS SVR seems well-thought-out.

I said that prior to the expansion of the tornado watch.

 

And yeah, the CC lowering looks to have been either short lived or a glitch. Still an intense mid level meso though.
