Areas affected...Central Illinois...central and southern Indiana

Concerning...Severe Thunderstorm Watch 76...

Valid 270327Z - 270430Z

The severe weather threat for Severe Thunderstorm Watch 76
continues.

SUMMARY...Isolated strong to occasionally severe thunderstorms may
persist beyond the scheduled 04z expiration of Severe Thunderstorm
Watch 76, and a local watch extension may be needed based on
near-term radar trends.

DISCUSSION...Isolated severe storms were noted along, and on the
cool side, of a cold front across southern portions of IN/IL at
0325z. Low-level warm advection will contribute modest ascent
supporting maintenance of thunderstorm coverage for the next few
hours, and MUCAPE on the order of 750-1000 J/kg combined with ample
deep-layer shear may support a severe wind/hail threat for a couple
hours beyond the expiration of Severe Thunderstorm Watch 76 at 04z,
and a local watch extension may be needed. With time, however, an
overall weakening trend is expected as instability continues to
diminish. As a result, a new watch is not anticipated.
