Tornadoes and Hail in Illinois, June 29, 2023

June 29, 2023 · NWS ILX · 229 events in 29 counties and zones

A cluster of thunderstorms that initiated during the night of June 28th across the Central Plains entered west-central Illinois by the late morning of June 29th. Aided by an increasingly unstable airmass characterized by CAPE values of 3000-4000J/kg and a 30-40kt mid-level jet streak, the storms became linear in nature and began racing east-southeastward across central Illinois.

What happened

The episode as NWS ILX wrote it up.

A cluster of thunderstorms that initiated during the night of June 28th across the Central Plains entered west-central Illinois by the late morning of June 29th. Aided by an increasingly unstable airmass characterized by CAPE values of 3000-4000J/kg and a 30-40kt mid-level jet streak, the storms became linear in nature and began racing east-southeastward across central Illinois. Widespread wind gusts of 60-80mph were observed along the line, with localized corridors of even higher gusts. The highest measured gust of 101 mph came from a personal weather station near Taylorville that took a direct hit from a tornado. A total of seven tornadoes were embedded within the line of storms, including an EF-2 tornado near Curran in Sangamon County. The high winds caused extensive tree and power line damage, leading to power loss for over 200,000 customers. Some people in the Springfield area were without power for nearly a week before all lines were restored. The winds impacted all of central and southeast Illinois, but were most concentrated between the I-74 and I-70 corridors. Once the line of storms dropped into the Ohio River Valley, additional severe cells fired along the trailing outflow boundary south of I-70 during the late afternoon. These storms produced hail as large as 2 inches in diameter across parts of Clay, Richland, and Lawrence counties.

Area Forecast Discussion...Updated
National Weather Service Lincoln IL
1103 AM CDT Thu Jun 29 2023

.SYNOPSIS...
Issued at 1044 AM CDT Thu Jun 29 2023

Another round of severe thunderstorms are expected to track
eastward over central and southeast IL through the afternoon,
with all hazards possible. This includes damaging winds of 60 to
80 mph, large hail 1 to 3 inch diameter and possible tornadoes
along with heavy rains. Highs today in the mid to upper 80s with
muggy and hazy conditions. An air quality alert continues through
7 pm today, but smokey conditions should improve as the storms
race eastward across central IL through this afternoon. More
severe weather Friday and this weekend with more rounds of showers
and thunderstorms.

&&

.UPDATE...
Issued at 1050 AM CDT Thu Jun 29 2023

Updated the forecast a couple times this morning, 1st with ending
the severe thunderstorm watch over eastern IL at 9 am, and again
late this morning with a new severe thunderstorm watch for all of
central and southeast IL through 5 pm today.

1st batch of storms with MCS was still affecting the Wabash river
valley in far southeast IL though the stronger cells are east/se
of Clark, Crawford and Lawrence counties. These storms produce 1-2
inch hail since overnight in eastern IL and even 3.25 inch hail
in Tuscola around 650 pm. Also had reports of 1.5-2.5 inch rains
in spots over eastern IL. Focus shifts to developing area of
strong to severe convection with next MCS over southeast
IA/northeast MO and approaching west central IL. SPC just issued
a severe thunderstorm watch for a large portion of IL through
22z/5 pm with widespread damaging wind gusts of 60 to 80 mph
possible, scattered large hail (1 inch or larger) and isolated
very large hail of golf ball to 3 inches possible. Isolated
tornados also risk along with locally heavy rains as tropical PW
values are 1.75-2.2 inches, highest over southern/sw CWA. Strong
effective bulk shear values of 35-55 kts while  very unstable air
mass with SB CAPES peaking from 3000-6000 j/kg and MLCapes of
2500-4500 j/kg, highest in southern/sw CWA. The eastern edge of
storms is just west of Schuyler county and CAMs bring line of
storms quickly eastward toward I-55 at or just after 18Z/1 pm and
to Indiana border by 20-21Z/3-4 pm. Temps climbing into the mid to
upper 80s in western CWA ahead of storms and rest of CWA should
see highs reach similar values or even near 90F in sw CWA before
storms race through and cool temps back down.

Continued air quality alert through 7 pm as worst air quality
currently is northern and ne CWA where Unhealthy conditions (red
color) and much of CWA has unhealthy for sensitive groups (orange
color). But smoke/hazy conditions should improve following
passage of squall line and air quality alert may be able to end
early.

.DISCUSSION...
Issued at 249 AM CDT Thu Jun 29 2023

-----------------------[KEY MESSAGES]-----------------------

1. Severe weather is on deck for today, with the potential of
multiple rounds throughout the day. All hazards are possible.

2. Smoke lingers over central Illinois with hopes that it will move
out by this morning into the afternoon.

------------------------[DISCUSSION]------------------------

Looking at the set up today synoptically, we can see a prominent
500 mb ridge in place over much of the central United States. Many
of the convective complexes look as if they are "riding the
ridge", moving over the top of the ridging feature. This ridge is
likely a big player in the extreme temperatures much of the United
States will be dealing with for the next day or so, essentially
acting as a heat dome. However, the convection expected today will
limit temperatures. An upper level trough is pushing onto the
west coast. This will force the ridging pattern to weaken and move
off to the east and bring additional chances for rain and
thunderstorms to our CWA.

A surface low pressure system is moving across the Plains eastward
towards the Middle Mississippi and Ohio Valleys. The warm front
associated with this low will bring dewpoints of 70+ degrees to
central and southeastern Illinois. These dewpoints indicate the
abundance of moisture in the air, which will help aid in the
convective initiation in the early morning hours today. After the
warm front and surface low move away from central Illinois, multiple
surface boundaries are forecast to pass through over the next
several days.

Dropping down to the mesoscale details, we shall focus on the near
term (Thursday into Friday). As the storms begin to fire up this
morning, they are expected to be primarily elevated to start as they
are ahead of the warm front. These early storms' risks look to
mainly be hail, as there is quite a bit of capping that the winds
will have to break through to reach the surface. Depending on
location of the convective complex passage and its associated cold
pool, storms may be able to become surface based, which will greatly
increase the risk of strong, damaging winds. The storms that are
along or near the warm front have a chance for some tornadoes. SPC
has all of central Illinois in an enhanced risk for severe weather
[5% tor, 30% wind, and 15% hatched hail].

Based on the 00z/29 run of the NAM, MUCAPE values are widely 2500-
5000 J/kg for most of the night into Thursday afternoon/evening. The
capping over the region is keeping SBCAPE pretty low over eastern
Illinois but nearing 4000 J/kg over western Illinois. The surface to
500mb bulk shear shows a max of 50 kts over central Illinois this
morning (agreeing with the Euro/GFS/HRRR). The 00z/29 run of the
HREF ensemble show large swaths of areas with updraft speeds greater
than 20 m/s (sufficient for hail development).

The first round of convection is expect to start making its way
across the CWA just before sunrise. The second round closely follows
and potentially will move through by late morning or early
afternoon. Then a third round could move through by late tonight or
early Friday morning. Despite it being the extreme short term now,
there is still the uncertainty of where these complexes may move
through and how they will affect each other and the highs over the
next day or so.

In terms of the smoke and hazy conditions, the HRRR 00z run is
indicating that the smoke should start clearing out of the area just
after sunrise. Visibilities and air quality should begin to improve
shortly after. Basically, today is going to be much less smokey and
hazy than the previous 2 days.

If the convection plays out as expected, temperatures will be
greatly limited today and Friday - essentially depleting the heat
indices. The heat advisory for Lawrence/Richland/Clay counties has
been cancelled early. Saturday - Monday will see highs primarily in
the upper 80s but then by mid week highs in the 90s will return.
Currently, there is no heat indices in the forecast. There is a
chance for showers and thunderstorms throughout the extended period.

.AVIATION...  (For the 12z TAFs through 12z Friday Morning)
Issued at 558 AM CDT Thu Jun 29 2023

MVFR conditions will continue for a few more hours with lower
visibilities due to smoke and haze, with a substantial improvement
expected by 12Z at all TAF sites. By 12Z, VFR conditions
should prevail.

There are multiple round of thunderstorms expected today, one
currently ongoing from KPIA-KDEC east more scattered in nature. The
second round is expected early afternoon and is more likely to be
severe, with wind gusts above 30 knots and brief MVFR/IFR conditions
due to heavy rain and ceilings.
