Mesoscale Discussion 0749
NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK
0253 PM CDT Fri May 13 2022

Areas affected...Portions of northwestern Illinois into far
south-central Wisconsin

Concerning...Severe potential...Watch unlikely

Valid 131953Z - 132130Z

Probability of Watch Issuance...5 percent

SUMMARY...Isolated wind damage and small hail are possible should a
storm initiate/mature this afternoon. No watch is expected.

DISCUSSION...Strong heating ahead of a cold front has promoted
deepening cumulus from northwestern Illinois. Along with this
heating, though, dewpoints have also mixed into the upper 50s to low
60s F. Convergence along the front is also rather weak, though the
deepest cumulus has developed southwest of Rockford where
convergence is locally higher. Currently, it seems probable that a
storm or two could develop within the next 1-3 hours. Effective
shear is weak (around 20 kts) with the stronger mid-level winds
displaced to the northwest. The 18Z DVN sounding does show steep
mid/low-level lapse rates. Should a storm mature, isolated wind
damage and possible small hail would be possible. A watch is not
expected.
