646 PM CDT Mon Jul 15 2024

.KEY MESSAGES...

- A cluster of severe thunderstorms will race east-southeastward
  out of Iowa this evening. Damaging wind gusts in excess of 70mph
  and isolated tornadoes will be the primary severe weather risks
  mainly along and north of the I-74 corridor.

- Back-building thunderstorm cells overnight will lead to a flash
  flooding risk across parts of central Illinois.

- Another round of showers and thunderstorms will form Tuesday
  night...resulting in a risk for flash flooding south of I-70.

.SHORT TERM...(Tonight through Tuesday)
Issued at 321 PM CDT Mon Jul 15 2024

A vigorous short-wave trough currently over Minnesota into
northwest Iowa will interact with a highly unstable and moderately
sheared environment to create a cluster of thunderstorms across
central/northern Iowa late this afternoon. These cells will
quickly grow upscale into a severe MCS, which will then race E/SE
across north-central Illinois later this evening. While the exact
track of the system varies somewhat among the CAMs, general
consensus suggests it will focus between the I-80 and I-74
corridors. Given extreme instability as noted by SBCAPEs in excess
of 6000J/kg on the 19z KDVN upper air flight, think damaging wind
gusts of 70-80mph will be likely once a cold pool can be
established. While the primary momentum with this MCS may skirt
the KILX CWA just to the north, the S/SW trailing edge of the
system will provide challenges later this evening into the
overnight hours due to backbuilding cells. With precipitable
water values in excess of 2 inches, the storms will be efficient
rain-makers...and with the propensity for training echoes, think
there is a strong potential for flash flooding. Have therefore
issued a Flood Watch for locations along/north of the I-74
corridor tonight. Thunderstorms will settle southward to I-72 and
points southward late tonight: however, the severe weather risk
will decrease with time.

Scattered showers and thunderstorms will be ongoing during the
day Tuesday as a cold front drops slowly southward into the area.
As the nocturnal LLJ strengthens after dark, another round of
showers and thunderstorms will develop near the sagging boundary
Tuesday evening. Considerable uncertainty still exists as to the
exact corridor of heaviest rainfall, but it appears that it will
be focused south of I-70. Have issued a Flood Watch for Effingham,
Jasper, Crawford, Clay, Richland, and Lawrence counties
accordingly.

.LONG TERM...(Wednesday through Next Monday)
Issued at 321 PM CDT Mon Jul 15 2024

Once the front passes, a much cooler/drier airmass will settle
into the Midwest for the middle and end of the week. The coolest
days will be Thursday and Friday when highs may remain in the 70s
and overnight lows dip into the 50s. After that, below normal
temperatures are expected to continue through early next week.

.AVIATION...  (For the 00z TAFs through 00z Tuesday Evening)
Issued at 645 PM CDT Mon Jul 15 2024

A line of severe thunderstorms is poised to sweep across central
Illinois late this evening with severe wind gusts likely
accompanying the strongest portions of this line. Storms are most
likely to be strongest along the I-74 corridor. After the leading
line of storms, additional clusters of storms will form along the
low level jet late this evening and continue several hours as they
slowly sag south across the I-72 corridor. Additional storms are
possible Tuesday during the day, but chances are best they stay
south of the terminals.
