    Areas affected...pats of far eastern Iowa...central/northern
    Illinois...and far southern Wisconsin

    Concerning...Tornado Watch 117...120...

    Valid 170032Z - 170200Z

    The severe weather threat for Tornado Watch 117, 120 continues.

    SUMMARY...The risk for damaging winds, hail, and a couple of
    tornadoes continues. Local extensions of WW117 may be needed across
    parts of IL this evening.

    DISCUSSION...The ongoing cluster of thunderstorms over eastern IA is
    expected to move into western IL and southern WI in the next hour.
    Buoyancy generally decreases with north/eastward extent as previous
    convection has overturned the air mass south of the nearly
    stationary warm front. Still, 500-1000 J/kg of MLCAPE and strong
    deep-layer shear will allow storms to stay organized farther east
    into IL early this evening. Damaging winds appear to be the most
    likely threat given the linear mode, but hail and a couple of
    tornadoes will remain possible. Strong to severe storms may linger
    over parts of far southeast IA and into western/central IL after the
    planned 01z expiration of WW118. Convective trends will be monitored
    and a local extension could be necessary.
