    Areas affected...IL...Northern IN...Southwest MI

    Concerning...Severe Thunderstorm Watch 90...

    Valid 142336Z - 150100Z

    The severe weather threat for Severe Thunderstorm Watch 90
    continues.

    SUMMARY...Some threat for locally damaging wind and marginally
    severe hail continues across WW 90. Some threat may extend
    downstream out of the watch into northern IN/southwest MI, but no
    watch issuance is expected in that area at this time.

    DISCUSSION...The earlier bow echo that moved across the St. Louis
    metro has weakened quite a bit over the past hour, as it has moved
    into a region with somewhat less instability and midlevel
    flow/effective shear. Some residual wind threat may persist in the
    short term with this system as it decays. Further north, elevated
    convection has developed north of a boundary in the Chicagoland
    area, while other storms were attempting to develop near the surface
    boundary across east-central IL. Moderate instability and somewhat
    stronger effective shear (compared to areas further south) would
    support some severe wind and hail risk with any surface-based storms
    that can become established near the boundary across northern IL.
    Any such activity would likely spread into portions of northern IN
    and southern MI with time, though at this time the magnitude of the
    threat appears too limited for downstream watch issuance.

    Mesoscale Discussion 0418
    NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK
    0715 PM CDT Sun Apr 21 2019

    Areas affected...Parts of north central Kansas

    Concerning...Severe potential...Watch unlikely

    Valid 220015Z - 220145Z

    Probability of Watch Issuance...5 percent

    SUMMARY...Thunderstorm activity capable of producing small hail and
    a few strong wind gusts may persist, and possibly increase some, for
    a period this evening. However, overall, the threat still appears
    marginal enough that a severe weather watch will not be needed.

    DISCUSSION...Ongoing small, but sustained cluster of thunderstorms
    has accelerated some while advancing east-northeastward during the
    past couple of hours, from near 20 to around 30 kt. Activity has
    been mostly post-cold frontal, aided by mid-level cooling and
    sufficient boundary layer moisture to contribute to CAPE locally up
    to around 1000-1500 J/kg. Deep layer wind fields and shear are
    mostly modest to weak, but initially steep lower/mid tropospheric
    lapse rates have been sufficient to support mainly small hail and a
    few strong wind gusts.

    It remains unclear how much longer this activity will maintain
    strength as it spreads near/to the south and east of Hill City. It
    seems possible that it may weaken as the cold front overtakes the
    dryline and supports the initiation of new thunderstorm activity
    downstream, around the Hays, Russell, Smith Center and Beloit
    vicinities. It is possible that shear associated with strengthening
    southerly 850 mb flow across this region could aid organization of consolidating new development. But any associated severe wind
    threat probably will be limited by the onset of boundary layer
    cooling, which likely will result in an increasingly marginal
    thermodynamic environment for vigorous convection.
