CONCERNING...SEVERE POTENTIAL...WATCH POSSIBLE

VALID 012042Z - 012215Z

LATEST VIS IMAGERY SUGGESTS DEEPER CONVECTIVE UPDRAFTS ARE
DEVELOPING ACROSS ECNTRL IL INVOF IROQUOIS/VERMILION COUNTIES. THIS
IS LIKELY INDICATIVE OF STRONG THERMAL HEATING AT LOW LEVELS AND
STEEP LAPSE RATES. HOWEVER...FRONTAL CONVERGENCE SHOULD GRADUAL SAG
SWD INTO THIS ZONE OF STEEPER LOW LEVEL LAPSE RATES WHICH SHOULD
ENCOURAGE THUNDERSTORM DEVELOPMENT OVER THE NEXT FEW HOURS. THIS
SCENARIO IS BECOMING INCREASINGLY LIKELY...THOUGH DEEP WLY FLOW MAY
DELAY THE ONSET OF THUNDERSTORMS UNTIL 22-23Z TIME FRAME. DEEP
LAYER SHEAR IS CERTAINLY SUPPORTIVE OF ORGANIZED UPDRAFTS THAT WOULD
MOVE SEWD AT ROUGHLY 25-30KT. LATEST THINKING IS AN E-W CORRIDOR OF
CONVECTION COULD EVOLVE ALONG THE FRONT INTO THE EARLY EVENING HOURS
WHICH WOULD POSE AT LEAST A THREAT FOR LARGE HAIL AND DAMAGING
WINDS. WILL CONTINUE TO MONITOR FOR POSSIBLE SEVERE THUNDERSTORM
WATCH.
