4km NAM shows that the Michiana and Chicago areas will get active with storms around 03z or 04z.(10PM to 11PM central. ) Other mesoscale models (HRW-ARW-Eastern) show some activity popping around Chicago at 00z (7pm central) with a second complex at 06z to 09z.(1am to 4am)

Most of Ohio might see a watch soon.

 

MESOSCALE DISCUSSION 1220
   NWS STORM PREDICTION CENTER NORMAN OK
   0204 PM CDT TUE JUN 25 2013

   AREAS AFFECTED...PORTIONS OH...CENTRAL/WRN PA...NRN PANHANDLE OF WV.

   CONCERNING...SEVERE POTENTIAL...WATCH POSSIBLE

   VALID 251904Z - 252100Z

   PROBABILITY OF WATCH ISSUANCE...60 PERCENT

   SUMMARY...POTENTIAL IS INCREASING ACROSS DISCUSSION AREA FOR
   DAMAGING GUSTS AND ISOLATED LARGE HAIL...AS CONVECTION CONTINUES TO
   DEVELOP AND MOVE GENERALLY EWD INTO DESTABILIZING AIR MASS.

   DISCUSSION...SFC MESOANALYSIS INDICATED THREE PRIMARY BOUNDARIES
   ACROSS THIS REGION THAT MAY FOCUS BOUNDS OF SEVERE THREAT...THOUGH
   ACTIVITY ALSO IS DEVELOPING IN WARM SECTOR REMOVED FROM THESE...
   1. SWRN LE AND NWRN OH BETWEEN TOL-FDY...EXTENDING WSWWD OVER NRN
   INDIANA.  THIS QUASISTATIONARY FEATURE IS LEFT OVER FROM EXTINCT
   EARLY MORNING MCS...BUT APPEARS TO HAVE SPAWNED A FEW TSTMS OVER
   NWRN OH AND WRN LE.
   2. EXTENDING WNWWD FROM ONGOING SERN PA CONVECTION TO JUST S DUJ TO
   NERN CORNER OF OH WHERE IT INTERSECTS...
   3. LAKE BREEZE BOUNDARY GENERALLY LOCATED JUST INLAND FROM LE
   SHORELINE.

   S OF THESE FEATURES...BOUNDARY LAYER HAS BECOME ESSENTIALLY
   UNINHIBITED FOR DEEP CONVECTION...WITH DIABATIC HEATING AND SFC DEW
   POINTS UPPER 60S TO 70S F CONTRIBUTING TO MLCAPE GENERALLY IN
   2000-3000 J/KG RANGE.  AS SUCH...AND WITH ADDITIONAL
   INSOLATION...INCREASE IN TSTM COVERAGE IS LIKELY.  BUOYANCY SHOULD
   REMAIN HIGHEST IN PRECONVECTIVE AIR MASS...NEAR PRIMARY SFC MOIST
   AXIS DRAWN FROM CVG AREA NEWD ACROSS CENTRAL/NERN OH.  WLYS NEAR SFC
   LIMIT CONVERGENCE...AS WELL AS MOST MEASURES OF VERTICAL SHEAR.
   NONETHELESS...NEARLY UNIDIRECTIONAL NATURE OF LOW-MIDDLE
   TROPOSPHERIC WINDS INDICATES SOME POTENTIAL FOR ORGANIZED COLD-POOL
   RELATED WIND DAMAGE AND SMALL BOWS...SHOULD INITIAL MULTICELL MODES
   AGGREGATE UPSCALE.  CONVECTIVE TRENDS ACCORDINGLY WILL BE MONITORED
   FOR POSSIBLE WW.

   ..EDWARDS/KERR.. 06/25/2013

A lot of debris clouds around, but the temperature is still rising up. Might be able to pop some cumulus later.\

 

That boundary layer going to wash out as the sun works the atmosphere over?

 

Edit: Sun is out almost full blast now. Up to 80°.

Heres the watch for most of Ohio.

 

   URGENT - IMMEDIATE BROADCAST REQUESTED
   SEVERE THUNDERSTORM WATCH NUMBER 362
   NWS STORM PREDICTION CENTER NORMAN OK
   340 PM EDT TUE JUN 25 2013

   THE NWS STORM PREDICTION CENTER HAS ISSUED A

   * SEVERE THUNDERSTORM WATCH FOR PORTIONS OF
     WESTERN MARYLAND
     NORTHERN AND CENTRAL OHIO
     WESTERN PENNSYLVANIA
     NORTHERN WEST VIRGINIA
     LAKE ERIE

   * EFFECTIVE THIS TUESDAY AFTERNOON FROM 340 PM UNTIL MIDNIGHT
     EDT.

   * PRIMARY THREATS INCLUDE...
     SEVERAL DAMAGING WIND GUSTS TO 70 MPH LIKELY
     SEVERAL LARGE HAIL EVENTS TO 1.5 INCHES IN DIAMETER POSSIBLE

   THE SEVERE THUNDERSTORM WATCH AREA IS APPROXIMATELY ALONG AND 70
   STATUTE MILES NORTH AND SOUTH OF A LINE FROM 30 MILES EAST OF
   LATROBE PENNSYLVANIA TO 65 MILES NORTH NORTHWEST OF DAYTON OHIO.
   FOR A COMPLETE DEPICTION OF THE WATCH SEE THE ASSOCIATED WATCH
   OUTLINE UPDATE (WOUS64 KWNS WOU2).

   PRECAUTIONARY/PREPAREDNESS ACTIONS...

   REMEMBER...A SEVERE THUNDERSTORM WATCH MEANS CONDITIONS ARE
   FAVORABLE FOR SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS IN AND CLOSE TO THE WATCH
   AREA. PERSONS IN THESE AREAS SHOULD BE ON THE LOOKOUT FOR
   THREATENING WEATHER CONDITIONS AND LISTEN FOR LATER STATEMENTS
   AND POSSIBLE WARNINGS. SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS CAN AND OCCASIONALLY
   DO PRODUCE TORNADOES.

   &&

   OTHER WATCH INFORMATION...CONTINUE...WW 361...

   DISCUSSION...STORM DEVELOPMENT IS NOW WELL UNDERWAY IN THE PRESENCE
   OF MODERATE BOUNDARY LAYER INSTABILITY.  CONSOLIDATING COLD POOLS
   MAY CONTRIBUTE TO FURTHER UPSCALE CONVECTIVE GROWTH...AND THE
   EVOLUTION OF ONE OR TWO SMALL STORM CLUSTERS ACCOMPANIED BY THE RISK
   FOR DAMAGING WIND GUSTS.  EAST SOUTHEASTWARD MOTION WILL BE ENHANCED
   BY A BELT OF 20-30 KT WESTERLY LOWER/MID TROPOSPHERIC FLOW.

   305 PM CDT TUE JUN 25 2013

   THE NWS STORM PREDICTION CENTER HAS ISSUED A

   * SEVERE THUNDERSTORM WATCH FOR PORTIONS OF

     NORTH CENTRAL ILLINOIS

     NORTHERN INDIANA

     NORTHWEST OHIO

   * EFFECTIVE THIS TUESDAY AFTERNOON AND EVENING FROM 305 PM UNTIL

     1000 PM CDT.

   * PRIMARY THREATS INCLUDE...

     NUMEROUS DAMAGING WIND GUSTS TO 70 MPH LIKELY

     SEVERAL LARGE HAIL EVENTS WITH A FEW VERY LARGE HAIL EVENTS TO 2

       INCHES IN DIAMETER POSSIBLE

   THE SEVERE THUNDERSTORM WATCH AREA IS APPROXIMATELY ALONG AND 65

   STATUTE MILES NORTH AND SOUTH OF A LINE FROM 40 MILES WEST OF

   PEORIA ILLINOIS TO 25 MILES SOUTHEAST OF FORT WAYNE INDIANA.  FOR

   A COMPLETE DEPICTION OF THE WATCH SEE THE ASSOCIATED WATCH

   DISCUSSION...STORM DEVELOPMENT IS NOW UNDERWAY ACROSS CENTRAL

   ILLINOIS... PERHAPS AIDED BY FORCING ASSOCIATED WITH A SHORT WAVE

   IMPULSE MIGRATING EAST OF THE MIDDLE MISSISSIPPI VALLEY.  IN THE

   PRESENCE OF THERMODYNAMIC PROFILES CHARACTERIZED BY FAIRLY STEEP

   MID-LEVEL LAPSE RATES AND LARGE CAPE...DEEP LAYER WESTERLY FLOW AND

   VERTICAL SHEAR IS SUFFICIENT TO SUPPORT THE UPSCALE GROWTH FROM

   SUPERCELLS TO AN INCREASINGLY ORGANIZED...EASTWARD ADVANCING

   MESOSCALE CONVECTIVE SYSTEM CAPABLE OF PRODUCING DAMAGING WIND

   GUSTS.

starting to see some more robust developement with storms well south of I80. still not seeing much focus for development further north and may have to wait on the llj later this evening.

 

Where do you think the LLJ will activate tonight initially? NE IA again?

tough call, models have been placing the nose of the jet further east than nights past right over our area but that could clearly change depending on this afternoon and early evening action.

83/77 at DKB.

 

84/76 here.

MESOSCALE DISCUSSION 1222

   NWS STORM PREDICTION CENTER NORMAN OK

   0315 PM CDT TUE JUN 25 2013

   AREAS AFFECTED...PORTIONS OF SRN MN...NRN IA...NRN IL...SRN WI

   CONCERNING...SEVERE POTENTIAL...WATCH POSSIBLE

   VALID 252015Z - 252245Z

   PROBABILITY OF WATCH ISSUANCE...40 PERCENT

   SUMMARY...THE AREA IS BEING MONITORED FOR INCREASING SVR POTENTIAL

   THIS AFTERNOON. THE ISSUANCE OF A WW IS POSSIBLE.

   DISCUSSION...THE LATEST 7-KM CAPPI DATA INDICATE AN UPTICK IN

   CONVECTION ALONG AN AGGREGATE SYNOPTIC FRONT/OUTFLOW BOUNDARY LYING

   FROM S-CNTRL MN ESEWD TO NEAR CHICAGO. LOW-LEVEL ASCENT ALONG THIS

   BOUNDARY IS AUGMENTING BACKGROUND ISENTROPIC ASCENT ACCOMPANYING A

   MODEST...20-25-KT LOW-LEVEL JET MAX. IN THE NEAR TERM...THE

   MODEST...SHALLOW NATURE OF THE ASCENT BREEDS UNCERTAINTY REGARDING

   THE SUSTENANCE OF STRONG/DEEP CONVECTION INTO THE LATE AFTERNOON

   HOURS. HOWEVER...GIVEN STEEP MID-LEVEL LAPSE RATES ATOP HIGH THETA-E

   IN THE BOUNDARY LAYER...MLCAPE VALUES OF 2000-3000 J/KG ARE COMMON

   ACROSS THE AREA AMIDST SUFFICIENT DEEP SHEAR FOR ORGANIZED STORM

   STRUCTURES. A CONDITIONAL THREAT FOR SVR HAIL WILL EXIST ACROSS THE

   REGION WITH THIS ACTIVITY...AND SVR WINDS MAY ALSO BE OF CONCERN

   NEAR/S OF THE BOUNDARY WHERE EFFECTIVE INFLOW LAYERS ARE BASED

   CLOSER TO THE SFC. THIS COULD REQUIRE WW ISSUANCE DURING THE NEXT

   COUPLE OF HOURS OR SO IF CONVECTIVE TRENDS SUGGEST A GREATER

   LIKELIHOOD OF SUSTAINED...SVR CONVECTION.
