AREAS AFFECTED...SERN IA...NRN IL...AND SERN WI

CONCERNING...SEVERE POTENTIAL...WATCH POSSIBLE

VALID 302129Z - 302230Z

WW MAY BE NEEDED ACROSS PARTS OF NRN IL INTO SERN WI.

REGIONAL RADARS SHOWED A RECENT IN INCREASE IN TSTM INTENSITY ACROSS
FAR SERN WI SWWD THROUGH NRN IL TO PART OF FAR SERN IA. THIS
ACTIVITY IS DEVELOPING ALONG A RESIDUAL OUTFLOW BOUNDARY FROM
EARLIER STORMS...WHERE VISIBLE IMAGERY SHOWED CLOUDS HAD CLEARED
ALLOWING FOR STRONGER SURFACE HEATING. SWLY LOW LEVEL WINDS HAVE
ADVECTED IN MOISTURE TO THIS REGION WITH SURFACE DEWPOINTS IN THE
UPPER 60S TO AROUND 70 IN THE VICINITY OF THE BOUNDARY. MODIFIED
RUC SOUNDINGS INDICATED MLCAPE OF 1000-1500 J/KG. NEARLY
UNIDIRECTIONAL WSWLY FLOW LOCATED ABOVE 1-2 KM AGL SUGGESTS THE
POTENTIAL FOR LINE SEGMENTS...WHILE STRONG EFFECTIVE BULK SHEAR
EXCEEDING 60 KT WILL ALSO SUPPORT SPLITTING SUPERCELLS. STEEP MID
LEVEL LAPSE RATES /7-8 C/KM/ AND STRONG SHEAR WILL RESULT IN A HAIL
THREAT...WITH AN ATTENDANT THREAT FOR STRONG WIND GUSTS.

Considering the Day 2 slight risk for the entire Mid-Atlantic region into the Central Plains, with the potential for supercellular storm development throughout the Northeast, what do the professional mets here believe about the tornado threat for western and central PA tomorrow? Just curious because it is my home region and tomorrow (May 31) has proven to be historically volatile in my area.

AREAS AFFECTED...ERN MO / CENTRAL IL / W-CENTRAL IND

CONCERNING...TORNADO WATCH 394...395...

VALID 302218Z - 302345Z

THE SEVERE WEATHER THREAT FOR TORNADO WATCH 394...395...CONTINUES.

REGIONAL RADAR IMAGERY AT 2215Z SHOWED ONGOING SUPERCELLS AND BOWING
SEGMENTS ORIENTED ENE FROM N CENTRAL IND W-SWD ACROSS NRN MO. THE
THREAT FOR TORNADOES...DAMAGING WINDS...AND LARGE HAIL WILL CONTINUE
THROUGH THE EARLY EVENING HOURS.

22Z SURFACE ANALYSIS DEPICTS A CONVECTIVELY-INDUCED BOUNDARY MOVING
SLOWLY EWD ACROSS NWRN IND...BUT THE BOUNDARY HAS BECOME
QUASI-STATIONARY ACROSS PARTS OF CENTRAL IL EXTENDING WWD INTO N
CENTRAL MO. STRONG DEEP LAYER WIND FIELDS IN COMBINATION WITH A
SLIGHT STRENGTHENING IN 850MB FLOW WILL CONTINUE TO PROMOTE
ORGANIZED ROTATING STORMS.

IT HAS BEEN NOTED THAT RIGHT-MOVING SUPERCELLS HAVE TRACKED IN A
NEAR EWD MOTION. WITH RESIDUAL OUTFLOW BOUNDARIES CREATED BY PRIOR
CONVECTION AND OVERSPREADING CONVECTIVE CIRRUS SHIELD...FAVORABLE
BOUNDARY LAYER SPREADS WILL PROMOTE FAVORABLE THERMODYNAMIC
CONDITIONS FOR TORNADO POTENTIAL. DISCRETE SUPERCELLS CROSSING EWD
INTO THIS FAVORABLE ENVIRONMENT WILL HAVE THE POTENTIAL TO PRODUCE
TORNADOES...IN ADDITION TO LARGE HAIL AND DAMAGING WINDS. FURTHER E
ACROSS NRN IND...WEAKER INSTABILITY APPEARS TO HAVE LIMITED THE
OVERALL SEVERE THREAT. THESE STORMS HAVE SHOWN SIGNS OF TRANSIENT
CONVECTIVE MODE TENDENCIES. AS A RESULT...THERE CONTINUES TO BE A
NON-ZERO TORNADO POTENTIAL...BUT THE THREAT APPEARS LESS COMPARED TO
AREAS FURTHER W ACROSS IL.

A NEW WW MAY BE NEEDED DOWNSTREAM ACROSS NERN IND/NWRN OH AS RECENT
CONVECTIVE DEVELOPMENT HAS BECOME ORGANIZED.

Had heavy rain with thunder 5:53-6:10 pm CDT in Champaign. It's lightening up now.

We are now tor-warned. No city sirens at this point.

Edit: Flooded viaducts in the downtown area (per radio). (Yeah, it's an annual occurence.)
