AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION...UPDATED  

NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE CHICAGO/ROMEOVILLE IL  

954 PM CDT SAT JUL 12 2014  

   

MESOSCALE DISCUSSION  

 

953 PM CDT  

 

CLUSTER OF STORMS ACROSS NORTH CENTRAL IL CONTINUES TO SHOW STRONG  

SIGNS OF ORGANIZATION WITH LIKELY SOME MESOSCALE CONVECTIVE VORTEX  

(MCV) NOW HAVING DEVELOPED BASED ON RADAR IMAGERY. THIS HAS A  

SLIGHT SOUTH OF EAST PROPAGATION WHICH FOLLOWS THE INSTABILITY  

AXIS AND SURFACE BOUNDARY. CONTINUING TRENDS AND A STRENGTHENING  

LOW-LEVEL JET PER VAD WIND PROFILER DATA SUPPORT SEVERE POTENTIAL  

TOWARD THE FAR WESTERN CHICAGO METRO AREA BY 1030-1100PM AND THE  

CENTRAL METRO BY MIDNIGHT.  

 

THE PRIMARY THREAT WITH THIS WILL BE STRAIGHT-LINE WINDS HOWEVER  

AN ISOLATED TORNADO THREAT IS IN PLACE GIVEN SURFACE BASED  

CONVECTION POSSIBLE...AS THERE HAS BEEN GUSTINESS IN SURFACE  

OBSERVATIONS AND ADAPTED SOUNDINGS INDICATE THE LFC IS VERY LOW  

/BELOW 3000 FT/ ACROSS MUCH OF THE AREA. IN ADDITION...THE LOW-  

LEVEL JET CONTINUES TO STRENGTHEN WITH LOW- LEVEL SHEAR AND  

HELICITY BOTH HIGH IN PLACES WHERE LIFT CAN OCCUR FROM THE  

SURFACE. THIS IS MOST FAVORED IN DISCRETE STORMS SUCH AS SEEN IN  

HENRY AND MERCER COUNTY IN WESTERN IL. SOME OF THIS BEHAVIOR COULD  

BE POSSIBLE IN A SMALL- SCALE WARM AIR ADVECTION WING AHEAD OF THE  

CLUSTER OF STORMS IN NORTH CENTRAL IL.  

 

DESPITE SOME QUICKER FORWARD PROGRESSION WITH A COMPLEX...FLASH  

FLOODING THREAT CONTINUES WITH VERY EFFICIENT RAINFALL RATES.

Well that line that was in NW IL certainly crapped the bed as it crossed I-39. Right around the time the watch was issued.

 

Probably a cold pool is starting to develop. Cells in WI have more energy it looks like. Quite a bit of lightning in the northern skies here.
