Concerning...Severe Thunderstorm Watch 432...434...

Valid 050602Z - 050730Z

The severe weather threat for Severe Thunderstorm Watch 432, 434
continues.

SUMMARY...The severe threat continues across Severe Thunderstorm
Watches 432 and 434. Damaging gusts are the primary threat,
particularly with any bowing line segments.

DISCUSSION...An MCS has materialized across the southern Lake
Michigan vicinity over the last couple of hours, where a couple of
severe gusts have been reported. Recently, a somewhat more prominent
bow-echo signature has developed within the MCS near the Chicago
metropolitan area per last few scans of the KLOT velocity data. This
portion of the MCS is traversing a buoyancy gradient characterized
by 2000+ J/kg MUCAPE, and is oriented roughly normal to the 40+ kt
effective bulk shear vectors. As such, damaging to potentially
severe gusts may continue to acco*pany this bowing structure for at
least a couple more hours, though a damaging gust or two remains
possible with the entire MCS.
