Where's @OceanStWx

What does the black contoured MCD mean (obviously has something to do with TOR watch b/c it says)

   Areas affected...northeast IA...extreme southeast MN...portions of
   southern/central WI and extreme northwest IL

   Concerning...Severe potential...Tornado Watch likely 

   Valid 151822Z - 152015Z

   Probability of Watch Issuance...95 percent

   SUMMARY...Convection is expected to develop across northeast IA and
   spread northeast in the next couple of hours. Tornadoes, damaging
   gusts and hail will all be possible. A tornado watch will likely be
   needed by 20z.

   DISCUSSION...Visible satellite and radar data from KDMX indicate
   deepening cumulus across northeast IA to the northeast of a surface
   low and in the vicinity of a surface warm front. More isolated
   cumulus has also started to develop across southern WI. Latest water
   vapor imagery indicates a shortwave impulse now ejecting across
   eastern NE/southeast SD will lift east/northeast, providing
   increasing ascent across the region within the next couple of hours.
   Some weak inhibition likely remains in the vicinity of the surface
   boundary, though continued heating and increasing ascent should
   rapidly erode any remaining inhibition over the next hour.

   Strong heating south of the surface boundary across IA into central
   WI has allowed temperatures to warm into the mid/upper 80s amid
   upper 60s to low 70s F dewpoints. Relatively warm temperatures
   between 850-700 mb will maintain modestly steep midlevel lapse
   rates, but the very moist boundary layer is still supporting
   moderate instability across the region. Effective shear magnitudes
   greater than 50 kt will further support robust, well-organized
   convection. Some uncertainty remains with regards to convective
   mode, but semi-discrete supercells appear possible at least
   initially in convective evolution. VWP data from KARX already shows
   enlarged, favorably curved low-level hodographs supporting rotation.
   Additionally, strong low-level instability with enhance vorticity in
   the vicinity of the surface front suggests increased tornado
   potential will accompany any semi-discrete convection.

   With time, convection is expected to grow upscale as a 35+ kt
   south/southwesterly low-level jet increases by late afternoon/early
   evening. This will result in an increasing risk for more widespread
   damaging gusts, though mesovortex tornadoes also will continue to be
   possible given favorable low-level shear.

That's a new one for me. If I had to guess it has something to do with significant severe, since hatching is black to begin with.

Hope so but those winds and destructive sunshine might put a damper on any thoughts of pool activities.  Pool dropped to 65 holy cold

Temps come up 9 degrees in the past few hours from a low of 49.  Have to believe that we'll touch 70 today as long as the clouds stay away...
