MESOSCALE DISCUSSION 0225  
NWS STORM PREDICTION CENTER NORMAN OK  
0806 PM CST TUE FEB 28 2017  
  
AREAS AFFECTED...PORTIONS OF CENTRAL AND NORTHERN ILLINOIS  
  
CONCERNING...TORNADO WATCH 42...  
  
VALID 010206Z - 010330Z  
  
THE SEVERE WEATHER THREAT FOR TORNADO WATCH 42 CONTINUES.  
  
SUMMARY...THE SEVERE THREAT IS SHIFTING BACK TO WESTERN PORTIONS OF  
TORNADO WATCH 42. AN ONGOING THREAT FOR DAMAGING WINDS, LARGE HAIL,  
AND A FEW TORNADOES IS EXPECTED. IN TURN, NEW WATCH ISSUANCE WILL  
LIKELY BE REQUIRED PRIOR TO THE 04Z EXPIRATION OF WATCH 42.  
  
DISCUSSION...A SECOND ROUND OF CONVECTION IS ORGANIZING ACROSS  
NORTHERN MISSOURI, FAR SOUTHEASTERN IOWA, AND WESTERN ILLINOIS IN  
RESPONSE TO LARGE-SCALE FORCING FOR ASCENT WITH THE APPROACHING  
TROUGH. STEEPENING MID-LEVEL LAPSE RATES (OBSERVED UPSTREAM IN THE  
00Z TOP AND SGF SOUNDINGS) AND LOW-LEVEL CONVERGENCE ALONG THE  
SURFACE FRONT WILL PROMOTE FURTHER BLOSSOMING OF CONVECTION THIS  
EVENING. WHILE CELLS MAY INITIALLY STRUGGLE DUE TO MODEST LOW-LEVEL  
MOISTURE (E.G., LOW 50S DEW POINTS IN WESTERN ILLINOIS), A CORRIDOR  
OF HIGHER DEW POINTS TO THE EAST WILL LIKELY YIELD AROUND 1000 J/KG  
OF MLCAPE LATE THIS EVENING. WHILE SOME PERSISTING CONVECTIVE  
INHIBITION MAY PARTIALLY TEMPER A GREATER SEVERE THREAT, EFFECTIVE  
STORM-RELATIVE HELICITY ON THE ORDER OF 300-400 M2/S2 WILL BE  
FAVORABLE FOR LOW-LEVEL MESOCYCLOGENESIS. UNI-DIRECTIONAL  
SOUTHWESTERLY FLOW ABOVE 850-MB SUGGESTS STORMS WILL EVOLVE INTO  
SMALL BOWING SEGMENTS, WITH PERHAPS EMBEDDED SUPERCELL STRUCTURES.  
THEREFORE, A RENEWED THREAT FOR DAMAGING WINDS, A FEW TORNADOES, AND  
LARGE HAIL WILL LIKELY EVOLVE ACROSS THE REGION LATE THIS EVENING  
INTO THE OVERNIGHT. NEW WATCH ISSUANCE IS ANTICIPATED PRIOR TO THE  
04Z EXPIRATION OF WATCH 42.
