Periods of rain are expected through this evening along with a chance for thunderstorms. Some of these thunderstorms may become strong or severe south of a La Salle to Rensselaer line this afternoon into early this evening. Scattered showers and drizzle are then expected to continue through Wednesday night. Cool temperatures will continue through the weekend.

#ILwx #LOT #Chicago
The threat for a few severe storms has increased this afternoon (roughly 2-8 pm), with the main threat area south of a La Salle to Rensselaer line. All severe hazards are possible, including a few tornadoes. There is still some uncertainty regarding the location of a warm front (where the greatest severe threat will be). If the front moves farther north, severe chances would increase towards/north of I-80.

Mesoscale Discussion 0898
NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK
0107 AM CDT Tue May 20 2025

Areas affected...far eastern Missouri...southeast
Illinois...southwest Indiana...and western Kentucky

Concerning...Severe potential...Watch likely

Valid 200607Z - 200730Z

Probability of Watch Issuance...80 percent

SUMMARY...Wind damage and QLCS tornado threat may persist east of Tornado Watch 298. An extension in space of the existing watch or a new watch may be needed.

DISCUSSION...A long-lived linear MCS continues to move east across Missouri this morning. This MCS has a history of producing sporadic wind damage along with transient to slightly longer lived low-level circulations/QLCS tornadoes.

The environment along the path of the MCS Monday evening was unstable and highly sheared. SPC mesoanalysis shows the environment ahead of the MCS remains highly sheared -- 40-50 knots effective deep-layer shear -- and remains unstable -- with mixed-layer CAPE between 1000-2000 J/kg. SPC Mesoanalysis also shows that this region is a relative minimum in convective inhibition, which would support a continued wind threat/QLCS tornado threat.

Either a local extension of Tornado Watch 298 or a new watch will likely be needed within the next hour.

Rain will spread over the area late this evening and continue through much of Tuesday. The rain could be heavy at times and include some embedded thunderstorms. Additional shower chances are found through midweek before conditions quiet down closer to the weekend, though below normal temperatures will continue.

#ILwx #LOT #Chicago
Expect rain, heavy at times, with some embedded thunderstorms later tonight through the day tomorrow. The heavy rain may result in localized flooding, and may also lead to limited visibility and slowed driving. Use extra caution when driving in heavy rain and never attempt to drive on flooded roads. It will also be windy with gusts up to 35-40 mph from the east on Tuesday.

#ILwx #LOT #Chicago
There is a chance for a few showers or sprinkles today, mainly south of Interstate 80. Periods of rain will develop tonight and continue into Tuesday morning. There will also be a chance for a few thunderstorms. Scattered showers or drizzle will continue Tuesday night and Wednesday. It will also be breezy today and tonight and windy on Tuesday with gusts to 40 mph possible, mainly north of Interstate 80. Large temp

#ILwx #LOT #Chicago
Aside from a stray sprinkle or two, Monday looks to be mostly dry. Rain chances will increase late Monday night with periods of soaking rainfall, some locally heavy, and a few storms to prevail through Tuesday. Spotty lingering showers are expected through Wednesday before dry conditions return with otherwise seasonably cool temperatures.

#ILwx #LOT #Chicago
A lake-enhanced cold front will result in falling afternoon temps, particularly within about 50 miles of the lake. Rain chances increase late Monday night into Tuesday, with periods of soaking, locally heavy, rainfall at times. Intermittent showers/drizzle will linger through Wednesday.

#ILwx #LOT #Chicago
A lake enhanced cold front will result in cooling temperatures Sunday afternoon, particularly near the lake. Rain chances will return Monday through Wednesday with highest rain and storm chances Monday night and Tuesday. Otherwise, seasonably cool conditions can be expected this week especially along Lake Michigan.

"Laurel County resident Chris Cromer said he got the first of two tornado alerts on his phone around 11:30 p.m. or so, about a half-hour before the tornado struck. He and his wife grabbed their dog, jumped in their car and scrambled to the crawlspace at a relative’s nearby home because the couple’s own crawlspace is small.

“We could hear and feel the vibration of the tornado coming through,”" #kywx #tornado #kentucky #missouri #StLouis #mowx #ilwx #noaa #nws
