    Mesoscale Discussion 1684
    NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK
    0148 PM CST Sat Dec 01 2018

    Areas affected...Western Illinois into southern and central Illinois

    Concerning...Severe potential...Watch possible

    Valid 011948Z - 012145Z

    Probability of Watch Issuance...60 percent

    SUMMARY...The severe threat is increasing through the afternoon with
    a threat for hail, damaging winds, and a few tornadoes. A watch is
    being considered.

    DISCUSSION...A cluster of cumulus in far eastern Missouri has
    deepened over the past hour. Radar trends and latest HRRR guidance
    suggest this is the start of surface based convection that is
    expected to track across the western 2/3rds of Illinois this
    afternoon/evening. The atmosphere will likely need a bit more
    surface heating/moisture advection before a greater severe weather
    threat materializes. Therefore, expect convection to become more
    widespread with higher severe weather potential after 21Z.
    Currently, MLCAPE values are around 500 J/kg and are expected to
    increase to around 1000 J/kg in the next hour or two. Given this
    instability with deep layer shear around 35 to 40 knots, expect
    supercells to be the primary storm mode. Surface winds will likely
    remain backed across this area as a weak surface low, currently
    analyzed in northeast Missouri tracks east northeastward along the
    warm front. Therefore, given the storm mode and the low-level shear
    profile (0-1 SRH ~ 150-200 J/kg), there will be a tornado threat
    with the strongest storms. Therefore, a watch is being considered.
