Temp up to 55° from 48° in the last half hour here...

I definitely think the SPC will trim the ENH to just south of the MI/IN/OH line. We're not going to make It (instability wise) up here. Just too much low cloud cover and now more WAA rains knocking on the back door.

Northern Illinois looks to be in a perfect spot... Very ominous in those parts. Everyone stay safe and aware, this could be a dangerous afternoon/evening.

Outflow boundary OFB noted by SPC is easier to see on visible in Northern Illinois. Surface just shows warm front WF, but the OFB is easily noted just south of the WF on visible. Appears new storms are on the OFB from Galesburg to Peoria (1pm Central time). Hi-res models have that, and still erupt the main line after, so no problem there.

 

Looks like the main line goes on the cold front CF later. That 10% would look even better if storms were going on a pre-frontal trough. Anyway I'd target the first or second cell from the CF on the OFB late this afternoon. Storm right on the CF OFB intersection would be good if nothing else close. Risk on cold front is dry air ingestion. If a close second storm from the CF is on the OFB I would chase it. Good luck and be safe!
