Concerning...Tornado Watch 432...

Valid 181557Z - 181800Z

The severe weather threat for Tornado Watch 432 continues.

SUMMARY...Severe threat should increase substantially through
mid-afternoon as an arc of storms intensifies to the east-northeast
from central Illinois. A few tornadoes, scattered damaging winds,
and isolated severe hail will remain possible. Downstream tornado
watch issuance is anticipated to the northeast of Ww 432.

DISCUSSION...While the primary surface cyclone and attendant MCV are
centered near the northeast MO/west-central IL border area, a
downstream arc of increasing deep convection is expected to
strengthen across central IL. With mid 70s surface dew points common
across southern IL/IN, a pronounced MLCAPE gradient is setting up
from south to north. A compact belt of strong 700-500 mb
southwesterlies in the LSX VWP, recently sampled by the ILX VWP as
well, should support a broken band of supercells within this leading
arc as it spreads northeast. The potential for tornadoes has
increased and a 10 percent tornado probability will be added in the
1630Z D1 Outlook. The LSX VWP also indicates low-level SRH
diminishing behind this leading arc, but some tornado threat should
linger near the immediate MCV/surface low.
