Areas affected...Southeast Iowa...Far Northeast Missouri...Central
Illinois...South-central Indiana

Concerning...Severe Thunderstorm Watch 282...283...

Valid 190710Z - 190915Z

The severe weather threat for Severe Thunderstorm Watch 282, 283
continues.

SUMMARY...A wind-damage and hail threat will likely continue across
parts of the mid Mississippi Valley and lower Ohio Valley for
several more hours as a linear MCS organizes. Weather watch issuance
may be needed downstream across south-central Indiana late tonight.

DISCUSSION...The latest radar imagery shows a east-to-west line of
strong to severe thunderstorms from southeast Iowa into
north-central Illinois. This convection is located to the north of a
quasi-stationary front. The RAP is analyzing a relatively tight
gradient of moderate instability from southeast Iowa
east-southeastward into central Illinois, where MLCAPE is estimated
at 2000 to 3000 J/kg. Regional WSR-88D VWPs along this corridor have
0-6km shear in the 45 to 50 kt range suggesting an organized severe
threat will continue across the region late tonight. High-resolution
models suggest that the line will gradually obtain a
northeast-southwest orientation, which will promote the development
of a cold pool. The development of the cold pool should coincide
with the organization of a linear MCS, which is forecast to move
east-southeastward across central Illinois and south-central Indiana
toward daybreak. Wind-damage will be possible along the leading edge
of this organized line segment.
