    Mesoscale Discussion 0810
    NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK

    Areas affected...Part of northwest IL and eastern IA

    Concerning...Severe potential...Watch unlikely

    Valid 211853Z - 212130Z

    Probability of Watch Issuance...20 percent

    SUMMARY...A tornado or two cannot be ruled out this afternoon across
    part of northwest IL and eastern IA, though the areal coverage and
    temporal extent of this severe risk is expected to remain quite low.
    A tornado watch is not warranted for this region.

    DISCUSSION...Trends in early afternoon mosaic radar imagery,
    lightning data and surface observations showed a band of storms were
    located along a portion of an occluded front from eastern IA
    (Johnson County) to northwest IL (Tazewell County). These storms
    had developed within a marginally unstable environment (MLCAPE of
    500-1000 J/kg). Additional destabilization is likely in a narrow
    corridor (25-40 miles wide) north of the front where satellite
    imagery showed mostly clear skies for continued heating of a moist
    environment. Area wind profilers per NWS radars indicated
    relatively weak kinematics, though ambient vorticity with the
    deep-layer cyclone and some directional shear in vicinity of the
    occluded front could favor further low-level rotation for funnels.
    Meanwhile, until surface heating decreases, the co-location of
    surface vorticity with the occluded front, 0-3 km CAPE of 100 J/kg,
    and modest 0-3 km lapse rates suggest a marginal tornado
    probability.
