A potent midlevel shortwave trough will become negatively tilted today as it ejects east/northeast from northern/central Plains to the upper Great Lakes. At the surface, low pressure will deepen at it track northeast from MO into eastern IA by midday. Strong southerly flow ahead of the surface low and eastward-advancing cold front will transport low 60s dewpoints as far north as southern WI and southern lower MI. While heating will be limited by cloudy skies, cooling aloft will result in steepening midlevel lapse rates and modest instability (generally less than 750 J/kg MLCAPE) is expected during the afternoon and early evening. Thunderstorms are first expected to develop and intensify during the afternoon across northern MO into eastern IA. Deep layer flow will generally be parallel to the cold front, supporting a more linear storm-mode with line segments/QLCS development expected.
Given the deepening surface low, some backing of near-surface winds is expected closer to the low from eastern IA into northern IL and southern WI. This could increase the potential for mesovortex formation within the broader QLCS/bowing segments. Forecast soundings indeed show enlarged, curved hodographs with both increasing directional and speed shear leading to 0-1 km SRH values greater than 250 m2/s2. As a result, a few tornadoes are possible, in addition to isolated strong/locally damaging wind gusts. The severe threat should decrease with time and eastward extent as the boundary layer stabilizes with the loss of daytime heating and strong forcing ejects northeast over the upper Great Lakes and Ontario.
