    Mesoscale Discussion 0207

    Areas affected...portions of central Illinois

    Concerning...Severe potential...Watch unlikely=20

    Valid 110659Z - 110830Z

    Probability of Watch Issuance...20 percent

    SUMMARY...Numerous thunderstorms may remain capable of isolated
    severe gusts or marginally severe hail for a couple more hours. A
    new WW is unlikely.

    DISCUSSION...Scattered to numerous thunderstorms remain ongoing
    across portions of central IL as of 0655 UTC. Several multicells
    within an east-west oriented cluster have shown occasional stronger
    updrafts and reflectively cores over the last hour. This could
    continue for a few more hours this evening as the environment
    remains generally unstable and moderately sheared, favoring some
    organized storm potential. Additional loosely organized linear
    storms are approaching from western MO. This could support isolated
    severe gusts and perhaps marginally severe hail for a couple hours
    across central IL. However, increasing nocturnal inhibition and
    general organization trends suggest a slow weakening is likely.
    Thus, while isolated severe remains possible, a new WW is not
    expected.
