04/22/05: TALK: Midwest into the Southeast

[nickgrillo]

The deep convection that has developed in southeast MO/southwest IL will likely strengthen as it moves into a more favorable low-level environment, allowing for the activity to become more surface-based -- increasing the potential for damaging winds (quite possibley a few significant gusts with bow echo structures). The background environment is charactorized by more than 1000j/kg of SBCAPE and 40 knots of effective shear.

Still no WW issued...

Several warnings out now for that cell and the WW was issued as well. Fun times indeed.

The cell just W of Mount Vernon, IL is looking rather potent, with good development extending southward from there.

I am ready for some action as this activity gets it's act together and moves toward me later. It's good to see something on the scope after what has been a rather storm deprived season for my area thus far this season.
