.SYNOPSIS...
Issued at 733 PM EDT Sun Jun 20 2021

Scattered strong to severe thunderstorms will continue moving from
southwest to northeast this evening. A lull in the shower and
storm chances is expected for a time late this evening and early
overnight, but more showers and storms are expected overnight in
association with an approaching cold front. Cooler and drier air
will then settle in Monday through the middle of the week.

&&

.SHORT TERM...(This Afternoon through Monday)
Issued at 240 PM EDT Sun Jun 20 2021

The main focus remains on the severe weather threat late this
afternoon into this evening. A MCV and associated cluster of
convection, located across ne MO, will be the main feature of
interest as it tracks into the local area by this time, with
convection growing upscale in the vicinity of a lingering sfc
boundary oriented w-e just north of US 30. An increasingly
moist/unstable boundary layer under strengthening southwest
flow/shear support SPC's higher probs for severe storms. Initial
storm evolution by 21-23z may favor discrete storms (with HP
supercell structures), likely transitioning to broken line segments
or an organized bowing segment. All hazards (hail/wind/tornado)
remain on the table as hodographs enlarge and wind fields
strengthen. Large hail and isolated tornadoes will likely be the
primary threats to start, then trending toward damaging winds with
any linear segments. Overall confidence in this severe storm
threat has increased, especially along/north of US 24...so be
weather alert and stay tuned for updates.

A second line of convection is still expected to develop along a
cold front in eastern IA/WI this evening, with the bulk of CAMs
bringing this east in the 5-9z Monday AM time window. Wind appears
the be the primary threat by this time, conditional on how
convection evolves late this afternoon and evening. Expectations at
this time are for this higher end gusts within the weakening
MCS/QLCS to be more isolated and confined to areas mainly west of
Interstate 69.

A few showers may linger into Monday morning before the cold front
exits to the east, especially along/east of I-69. Gusty northwest
winds and cooler otherwise into the afternoon.

&&

.LONG TERM...(Monday Night through Sunday)
Issued at 240 PM EDT Sun Jun 20 2021

A quick shot of cool air will be the wx story post-frontal Monday
night through Tuesday night with lows mid 40s to low 50s. Skies will
trend mainly clear otherwise as low level ridging translates through
on the backside of an exiting upper trough.

Wednesday into Thursday will feature a warming trend on the backside
of high pressure with any convection to focus off to the northwest
on the nose of a LLJ. Fold over of this moisture channel and
front will then bring the next decent chance for showers and
storms into Thursday night and Friday. Troughing then lingers over
the region into next weekend with additional rain chances and
cooler temps.

&&

.AVIATION...(For the 00Z TAFS through 00Z Monday Evening)
Issued at 730 PM EDT Sun Jun 20 2021

Mesoscale convective vortex has aided in widespread showers and
thunderstorm development across northern Indiana into southern
Lower Michigan. Approach of this vortex has resulted in some ramp
up of low level jet and northward migration of instability
gradient from central Illinois into north central Indiana. Most
vigorous convection with this disturbance will continue across
northeast Indiana through around 02Z this evening, although
isolated strong storms will remain possible on southern periphery
of this disturbance across northeast Indiana through 06Z. Will
then turn attention to cold frontal forcing late tonight across
northwest Indiana, but still some low confidence in how far east
stronger storms will make it. Will continue to limit mention to
VCSH at KFWA after 07Z with better chances of storms likely
remaining west of Interstate 69. Cigs should deteriorate to
1500-2500 ft from west to east toward daybreak in post-frontal
environment with gradual improvement to VFR Monday afternoon.
