    Areas affected...northern Illinois and southern Wisconsin

    Concerning...Severe potential...Watch possible=20

    Valid 181610Z - 181745Z

    Probability of Watch Issuance...60 percent

    SUMMARY...The damaging wind threat will increase across northern
    Illinois and southern Wisconsin this afternoon.

    DISCUSSION...An outflow boundary from overnight storms continues to
    move east across southern Wisconsin, far eastern Iowa, and
    northwestern Illinois. Storms have started to strengthen along this
    boundary as the boundary layer destabilizes. SPC mesoanalysis
    indicates some weak inhibition remains ahead of storms, but is
    mostly eroded farther east across southern Wisconsin and northern
    Illinois where temperatures have warmed into the low to mid 80s.
    Therefore, expect additional strengthening of the updrafts as this
    line moves east. Around 35 knots of effective shear (per MKX VWP)
    should be sufficient to sustain some damaging wind threat from these
    storms as they move east. A severe thunderstorm watch may need to be
    issued by early afternoon if storm intensity/coverage increases as
    anticipated.
