CONVECTION TRYING TO INITIATE ALONG THIS BOUNDARY BUT MID LEVEL CAP HAS PREVENTED SOUTHERN END FROM DEVELOPING. STARTING TO SEE SOME BETTER RADAR RETURNS SO CONTINUED TEMPO TSRA CHANCES AT KFWA THIS AFTERNOON. LARGE AREA OF MAINLY SHRA IS LOCATED ALONG MAIN FRONT AND MID LEVEL TROUGH OVER EASTERN IA. THIS AREA WILL MOVE NORTHEAST THIS AFTERNOON AND TONIGHT. MODELS NOT SHOWING A GREAT DEAL OF INSTABILITY LEFT BEHIND BY THE TIME THIS AREA REACHES TERMINAL SITES AND CURRENTLY VERY LITTLE LIGHTNING ACTIVITY EMBEDDED WITHIN THIS RAIN. INSTABILITY DOES REMAIN HIGH OVER CENTRAL IL WITH EARLY AFTERNOON CAPES NEAR 3000 J/KG. LEADING EDGE OF THIS RAIN COULD BECOME MORE CONVECTIVE AND MOVE INTO THE REGION.

SOUTHEAST HALF OF FORECAST AREA MOSTLY SUNNY AND HEATING UP QUICKLY. HEAT INDEX VALUES APPROACHING MID 90S. HEAT INDEX VALUES FAR SOUTHEAST WILL LIKELY EXCEED 100 AND APPROACH ADVISORY CRITERIA. HOWEVER...EXPECTING ADDITIONAL CLOUD DEVELOPMENT THIS AFTERNOON AND WILL NOT ISSUE AN ADVISORY. MORNING SURFACE ANALYSIS SHOWS A PRE-FRONTAL TROUGH ENTERING NORTHWEST FORECAST AREA. DEWPOINTS POOLING INTO MID 70S JUST AHEAD OF THIS FEATURE. LINE OF MODERATE CU BEGINNING TO FORM ALONG THIS AXIS. SATELLITE ALSO SHOWS SEVERAL BOUNDARIES ACROSS AREA...ONE OF WHICH HAS BEEN LIFTING NORTH THIS MORNING. INTERSECTION OF THESE BOUNDARIES ALONG WITH INCREASING INSTABILITY AND DECREASING INHIBITION SHOULD LEAD TO THUNDERSTORM DEVELOPMENT BY EARLY AFTERNOON. BULK SHEAR GENERALLY 30-40 KTS WITH UNIDIRECTIONAL WIND PROFILES SO SEVERE RISK OF DAMAGING WINDS STILL LOOKS GOOD. KILX 12Z SOUNDING SHOWING A MID LEVEL CAP BUT APPROACHING SHORT WAVE AND DYNAMIC COOLING SHOULD HELP ERASE THIS BY EARLY AFTERNOON. && .SHORT TERM...

IT APPEARS THAT GIVEN ALL OF THE AFORE MENTIONED INGREDIENTS IN COMBO WITH A VERY MOIST ATMOSPHERE...CHANCES OF THUNDERSTORMS ARE GOOD THRU THE PERIOD. DAMAGING WINDS SHOULD BE THE BIGGEST THREAT WITH DIRECTIONAL SHEAR AHEAD OF THE FRONT WEAK AND THE FREEZING LEVEL AROUND 15K FT...MOST HAIL SHOULD MELT BEFORE REACHING THE GROUND. AS FOR HI TEMPS...WILL BE TRICKY WITH CLOUD COVER FROM THUNDERSTORMS UPSTREAM. WILL CONTINUE ONGOING FORECAST OF AROUND 90...AS WILL BE REACHED EASILY IN PLACES WHERE THERE IS A FEW HOURS OF MID DAY HEATING. PLACES THAT ARE CLOUDY ALL DAY...BEST CHANCES NORTHWEST CORNER WILL BE IN THE MID 80S. PRESSURE GRADIENT AHEAD OF FRONT SHOULD INCREASE TODAY...RESULTING IN SOME 30 MPH GUSTS. WINDS WILL BE HIGHER ON THE LAKE AND WILL ISSUE A SMALL CRAFT ADVISORY AS RESULT. && .LONG TERM...
