The storms still hanging on/developing over Northeast IL may be enough to keep the WF out of Chicago Metro?

 

 

There's really nothing else developing farther upstream (yet) so it's going to take a bit of a miracle to keep it that far south.

Don't think they go high, there would be a meso discussion for it if that was the case.

 

 

Not sure that they always do a meso discussion though.

 

Whether it goes high or not, the potential it to verify as a high risk is not out of the question, even with the tornado aspect.

Excerpt from DVN AFD:

 

THE SPECIAL SOUNDING DONE EARLY THIS AFTERNOON INDICATES THE STABLE  
AIR IS QUITE DEEP. THUS THE FORECAST FOR LATE THIS AFTERNOON IS  
BINARY. EITHER NO CONVECTION WILL OCCUR OR SIGNIFICANT SEVERE  
CONVECTION DEVELOPS IN THE 5 TO 7 PM TIME FRAME PLUS/MINUS AN HOUR.

If you modify their sounding for the incoming airmass, the cap would break especially as they get closer to 75 dew points

Way to really go out on a limb there... Haha

That stable layer on the DVN sounding is interesting, wondering if the main failure mode is transitioning more towards capping vs. rapid upscale growth.

 

Regardless, the level of shear present in the sounding is conducive to significantly tornadic supercells should storms form in that vicinity with nearly 400 m2/s2 0-1 km SRH.

MESOSCALE DISCUSSION 1020

NWS STORM PREDICTION CENTER NORMAN OK

0338 PM CDT WED JUN 22 2016

AREAS AFFECTED...ERN IA...FAR SRN WI...NRN INTO CNTRL IL...NW IND

CONCERNING...SEVERE POTENTIAL...TORNADO WATCH LIKELY

VALID 222038Z - 222215Z

PROBABILITY OF WATCH ISSUANCE...95 PERCENT

SUMMARY...SCATTERED THUNDERSTORMS ARE EXPECTED TO DEVELOP BY 23Z.

THESE STORMS WILL QUICKLY BECOME SEVERE WITH TORNADOES...DAMAGING

WINDS AND LARGE HAIL POSSIBLE INTO THE EVENING HOURS. A TORNADO

WATCH WILL LIKELY BE NEEDED WITHIN THE NEXT HOUR FOR PORTIONS OF THE

MCD AREA.

DISCUSSION...CONVECTION DURING MOST OF THE MORNING HOURS AND RELATED

CLOUD COVER ACROSS IA/WI/IL/IND HAS RESULTED IN MAINTENANCE OF

STRONG CAPPING /AS EVIDENT IN 19Z REGIONAL RAOBS/. HOWEVER...RECENT

CLEARING IN THE LAST 1-2 HOURS HAS ALLOWED FOR STRONG SURFACE

HEATING WITH TEMPERATURES CLIMBING FROM THE UPPER 60S F INTO THE MID

70S TO LOW 80S F AS FAR NORTH AS THE IL/WI BORDER. ADDITIONAL

HEATING AND MOISTENING SHOULD CONTINUE TO ERODE THE CAP. AS DEEP

LAYER FORCING FOR ASCENT INCREASES WITH THE APPROACH OF THE UPPER

SHORTWAVE IMPULSE...STORMS ARE EXPECTED TO DEVELOP ACROSS ERN IA/SW

WI/FAR NW IL BY 23Z. ONCE STORMS DEVELOP...THEY ARE EXPECTED TO

TRACK E-SE ALONG A STRONG INSTABILITY GRADIENT IN THE VICINITY OF A

WARM FRONT DRAPED ACROSS NRN IL INTO CENTRAL IND.

STEEP MIDLEVEL LAPSE RATES NEAR 7.5 C/KM PER DVN AND ILX 19Z RAOBS

AND 0-6 KM SHEAR GREATER THAN 50 KT WILL SUPPORT ROTATING UPDRAFTS

AND LARGE HAIL. FURTHERMORE...RICH BOUNDARY LAYER MOISTURE WITH

MIXING RATIOS NEAR 14 G/KG AND BACKED LOW-LEVEL WINDS EVIDENT IN 19Z

RAOBS AND...MORE RECENTLY...INDICATED BY REGIONAL VWP/S...WILL

SUPPORT A FEW TORNADOES /POTENTIALLY ONE OR TWO SIG TORS/. STORMS

ARE EXPECTED TO GROW UPSCALE INTO A SOUTHEASTWARD PROPAGATING MCS

WITH A COINCIDENT INCREASE IN DAMAGING WIND THREAT INTO INDIANA...AND LATER TONIGHT THE OHIO VALLEY.
