Mesoanalysis has a pocket of 500 J/kg MUCAPE in MI.  

Over 20 severe reports thus far... we were probably pretty close to getting a raging/more widespread severe weather event if instability was a bit better. 

Yeah imagine if we had double that instability.

Dang Jon, it must have been a good blow there. I didn't catch anything over 40 on my Kestral while out spotting. I did see some tree damage in an area where winds probably surpassed 50. One heck of a lightning show though. In fact, a barn got struck and burned to the ground. You guys are right about the instability, it could have been quite an outbreak. I always worry about these late fall, wrapping up storms. Sometimes I worry too much. lol

Plenty of uncertainty in the exact system evolution early next week, but might have to watch for at least an isolated severe threat in advance of the low.  Instability is weak (and actually the GFS is currently showing a pocket of about 300-500 J/kg SBCAPE, which isn't awful for that model at this distance) but wind fields aren't.

Was looking at the tornado reports for 2016 and didn't realize how much of a down year it has been overall (less than 850 confirmed tornadoes through August), though not so much in our subforum.  In fact, IL and IN each have near/over 40, accounting for about 10% of the nationwide total.

00z NAM builds some instability into central IL/IN Monday night into Tuesday morning (SBCAPE 500+ J/kg), but generally looks like it's behind the best forcing in an area with questionable wind profiles aloft.  I guess I will continue to watch because there's nothing else.
