    Areas affected...Northern and central Illinois

    Concerning...Severe potential...Watch likely=20

    Valid 280058Z - 280200Z

    Probability of Watch Issuance...80 percent

    SUMMARY...Severe threat to increase through the rest of the evening.
    A Watch downstream of WW150 will likely to be needed.

    DISCUSSION...A line of thunderstorms is advancing north and eastward
    across southern Iowa into northeastern Missouri this evening. This
    line will eventually move into portions of northern and central
    Illinois, with potential for additional thunderstorm development out
    ahead of this line. Ahead of this ongoing activity, temperatures
    remain in the mid 70s with dew points in the low to mid-60s. MUCAPE
    around 1500-1700 J/kg is observed in objective analysis data and
    sounding data from the 00z RAOB from ILX. Marginal deep layer shear
    around 30-35 kts suggests the main threats will be damaging wind and
    hail. Ahead of the line, more discrete development aligned with the
    low-level jet axis moving across central Illinois may pose the risk
    of a tornado if this activity continues to mature, though low-level
    lapse rates may weaken and there is uncertainty regarding this
    scenario.
