Temps in the area have creeped up into the low to mid 60's with Td's around 55-57F. This is combining with CAA setting in at 700mb and a pocket of 500mb temps near -18C which has dipped south ahead of the squall line. Strong winds aloft could easily be mixed down, as winds are near SVR criteria within the first 3K feet...

Here is the image of the 500mb temps, current as of 0200Z -- Notice the dip near LOT:
