Areas affected...Northeast Illinois and northwest Indiana

Concerning...Severe potential...Watch unlikely=20

Valid 281644Z - 281845Z

Probability of Watch Issuance...20 percent

SUMMARY...The threat for isolated hail (near 1 inch diameter) and
wind damage will persist through about 19z across northeast Illinois
into northwest Indiana.  A watch appears unlikely.

DISCUSSION...A slightly elevated storm cluster with some supercell
characteristics, and a history of 1 inch hail and some wind damage,
continues to move east-northeastward at 50-55 kt across southern
Livingston and northern Ford Cos. IL.  This storm cluster is
tracking near the surface warm front, and appears to be associated
with a subtle/embedded speed max approaching central/northern IL.=20
Modified short-term forecast soundings suggest the updrafts are
rooted slightly above the surface near the warm front with surface
temperatures in the low 60s, while somewhat larger surface-based
CAPE is confined to areas a bit farther south with temperatures in
the mid 60s.  Long hodographs/strong vertical shear will continue to
support organized/supercell structures before the storms outpace the
somewhat greater buoyancy in IL, but the overall hail/wind threat
should be limited by rather poor low-midlevel lapse rates.  As such,
a watch remains unlikely in the short term.
