MD for central IL

 

 

MESOSCALE DISCUSSION 1212
NWS STORM PREDICTION CENTER NORMAN OK
1018 AM CDT MON JUN 30 2014

AREAS AFFECTED...PARTS OF CENTRAL IL

CONCERNING...SEVERE POTENTIAL...WATCH POSSIBLE

VALID 301518Z - 301645Z

PROBABILITY OF WATCH ISSUANCE...40 PERCENT

SUMMARY...A FEW STRONG TO SEVERE STORMS WILL BE POSSIBLE THROUGH THE
LATE MORNING INTO THE EARLY AFTERNOON ACROSS CENTRAL IL. WW MAY BE
NEEDED...THOUGH THERE REMAINS UNCERTAINTY IN THE POTENTIAL COVERAGE
FOR SEVERE STORMS.

DISCUSSION...RADAR/SATELLITE IMAGERY SHOWED A LEAD MCS MOVING
THROUGH WEST CENTRAL IND AND ADJACENT FAR SERN IL...WHILE TRENDS IN
MESOSCALE ANALYSES INDICATED AN OUTFLOW BOUNDARY EXTENDING NWWD FROM
THIS LEAD SYSTEM THROUGH CENTRAL TO WEST CENTRAL IL. THE STORM IN
FULTON/PEORIA COUNTIES APPEARS TO BE LOCATED JUST ON THE COOL SIDE
OF THE OUTFLOW BOUNDARY. LIGHTING DATA AND RADAR IMAGERY SHOWED
ADDITIONAL STORMS DEVELOPING BETWEEN THE LEAD MCS AND THE FULTON/
PEORIA COUNTIES STORM WHERE ONGOING DIABATIC HEATING OF A MOIST
ENVIRONMENT /PW EXCEEDING 1.5 INCHES/ HAS ERODED INHIBITION FOR
SURFACE BASED STORMS INVOF THE NW-SE ORIENTED BOUNDARY. ALTHOUGH
WEAK LOW-LEVEL WAA SHOULD SUPPORT CONTINUED CONVECTIVE DEVELOPMENT
ACROSS CENTRAL IL...A WEAKENING TREND IN 7- AND 9-KM CAPPI WITH THE
FULTON/PEORIA COUNTIES STORM SUGGESTS FORCING IS NOT SUFFICIENT TO
MAINTAIN AN ONGOING STRONG-SEVERE STORM THREAT...AT LEAST IN THE
SHORT TERM. GIVEN THE PRESENCE OF MODERATE TO STRONG INSTABILITY
AND EFFECTIVE BULK SHEAR OF 30-40 KT...A SEVERE STORM OR TWO WILL BE
POSSIBLE...BUT OVERALL COVERAGE OF STRONG-SEVERE STORMS REMAINS
UNCERTAIN.

Sun is out strongly enough to see shadows... still a bit filtered though.  Tremendous rains and lightning here last night.  Lightning was amazing.  I am really concerned with that outflow boundary drapped across this area.  Really think enhanced tornado potential from Iowa City right towards the metro Quad Cities and really anywhere probably 30 or so miles either side.

DTX breaking out the D word, haven't heard them say that in a long time :lmao:

MKX thinks that the clouds will clear out in time for some destabilization

 

 

 

AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION...UPDATED
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE MILWAUKEE/SULLIVAN WI
1025 AM CDT MON JUN 30 2014

.UPDATE...

A LOT OF CLOUDS OUT THERE RIGHT NOW...BUT UPSTREAM SATELLITE
SHOWS THAT THERE SHOULD BE SOME SUNSHINE LATE MORNING AND INTO THE
AFTERNOON. THIS SHOULD PROVIDE ENOUGH HEATING TO RECOVER THE
ATMOSPHERE AFTER THE EVENT LAST NIGHT. THUS STILL EXPECTING A GOOD
CHANCE FOR ANOTHER ROUND OF SEVERE STORMS LATE AFTERNOON AND INTO
THE EVENING. MAIN CONCERN RIGHT NOW IS THE TIMING...AS MODELS ARE
GENERALLY VARYING BY ABOUT 3 HOURS. THE LATER MODELS HAVE THE
STORMS JUST ENTERING THE WEST BY ABOUT 7PM...WITH THE EARLIER
MODELS BRINGING THEM INTO THE WEST BETWEEN 4 AND 5 PM. WILL
EVALUATE NEWER MESOSCALE MODEL RUNS AS THEY COME IN AND ADJUST
FORECAST TIMING AS NEEDED.

THE BULK OF SIMULATED MODEL REFLECTIVITIES SUGGEST A BOWING LINE
OF STORMS...LIKELY WITH STRONG WINDS AND POSSIBLE EMBEDDED
TORNADOES. SOME LARGE HAIL WILL ALSO BE POSSIBLE...ESPECIALLY IN
EARLY DISCRETE SUPERCELLS.

they definitely will but some of the 4k+ sbcape solutions will likely be too generous...not that it will matter much, 2.5-3K will be more than enough for the imminent MCS to work with.
