Ended up having a supercell quickly develop over DuPage County last evening, which then moved through ORD. There was a transient wall cloud at times with it as it approached from the southwest, as the storm interacted with an OFB and briefly tried to be interesting.
-
Janky LL lapse rates and a warm nose aloft will be the bullet in today in the favorable corridor.

sangamon county is in the watch. springfield can't be in the watch if sangamon county isn't.
-
Rapid recovery occurring across the southern half of the DVN CWA.

Quite possibly. The latest HRRR already has a better handle, and never gets the WF back to even I-80.

Numerous 70-90MPH wind reports in NE Iowa, NW Illinois and SW Wisconsin.

-
The HRRR is top tier for tomorrow around here, projecting 3 rounds of back-back-back severe clusters locally.
-
Very tropical environment…

there's been a signal for about a week now, favoring next week for a ridge to poke up into the region. i wouldn't say it'll be a heat-wave, but it looks to be deep summer-like.
