    The GFS continues to tease snow events for the upper midwest in the 1-2 week period.  Last night's Euro had a good one up in Minnesota.

    At the very least, it appears the garden season will be over.

    GFS fantasy games had to start at some point.

       Areas affected...southern lower Michigan...Indiana...southern
       Illinois...east-central Missouri...northern Kentucky...and western
       Ohio
    
       Concerning...Severe Thunderstorm Watch 428...429...
    
       Valid 102217Z - 110015Z
    
       The severe weather threat for Severe Thunderstorm Watch 428, 429
       continues.
    
       SUMMARY...Widespread damaging wind gusts will continue across WW 428
       and 429, and eventually will spread into adjacent/downstream areas. 
       One or more new WW issuances may be needed to cover the fast-moving
       threat.
    
       DISCUSSION...Latest radar loop shows a well-defined bowing MCS
       moving quickly eastward/southeastward at 40 to 45 kt across the
       Midwest, with the main convective line now east of Chicago, and
       moving toward Grand Rapids/Indianapolis/St. Louis.  
    
       While moderate instability remains just downstream of the
       convection, which will allow storms to remain intense over the next
       hour, instability lessens with eastward and southeastward extent
       east of the existing watches.  Still, given the very well-organized
       nature of this convective system, an organized/bowing band is likely
       to continue east and southeast of the existing watches.  While
       severe risk should begin to diminish/become more isolated this
       evening, a new WW issuance -- into eastern lower Michigan and
       western Ohio, may be required.  Some risk may also spread southeast
       of the existing watches across the Ohio River into northern Kentucky
       as well --- which could also require WW consideration.

       NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK
       425 PM EDT Mon Aug 10 2020
    
       The NWS Storm Prediction Center has issued a
    
       * Severe Thunderstorm Watch for portions of 
         Northern and central Indiana
         Southwest Lower Michigan

       NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK
       0228 PM CDT Mon Aug 10 2020
    
       Areas affected...Portions of southern Lower MI into northern/central
       IN and far northwestern OH
    
       Concerning...Severe potential...Severe Thunderstorm Watch likely 
    
       Valid 101928Z - 102100Z
    
       Probability of Watch Issuance...95 percent
    
       SUMMARY...A substantial severe wind threat will likely increase this
       afternoon across parts of southern Lower Michigan and into
       northern/central Indiana with a line of storms moving quickly
       eastward. A Severe Thunderstorm Watch will be needed.
    
       DISCUSSION...A bow echo will continue moving rapidly eastward across
       northern IL and far southern WI this afternoon while producing
       widespread damaging winds of 70-100 mph. The airmass across southern
       Lower MI and northern/central IN continues to destabilize this
       afternoon, with surface temperatures having warmed into the mid to
       upper 80s, and surface dewpoints in the low to mid 70s. Steeper
       mid-level lapse rates observed on the 18Z ILX sounding have likely
       spread over at least the western portions of southwestern MI and
       western IN. Resultant MLCAPE of 2000-3500 J/kg and around 25-30 kt
       of effective bulk shear will likely support the maintenance of the
       severe bow echo as it moved eastward across these areas this
       afternoon and early evening. Severe wind gusts, some 75+ mph, will
       likely produce numerous to widespread damaging winds, and a tornado
       or two cannot be ruled out with circulations embedded within the
       line. This substantial severe wind risk is expected to increase
       within the next couple of hours, and a Severe Thunderstorm Watch
       will be issued to address this threat.

       Areas affected...Portions of far eastern IA into southern WI and
       northern IL...including the Chicago metro
    
       Concerning...Severe Thunderstorm Watch 426...
    
       Valid 101836Z - 102030Z
    
       The severe weather threat for Severe Thunderstorm Watch 426
       continues.
    
       SUMMARY...The potential for widespread and destructive damaging wind
       gusts of 70-100+ mph and perhaps a tornado or two will continue as a
       line of storms moves quickly eastward across northern Illinois. This
       line will likely impact the Chicago metro area around 2000-2030Z (3
       to 3:30 PM CDT).
    
       DISCUSSION...The bow echo over eastern IA has developed a comma head
       structure on its northern flank and very large rear-inflow jet, with
       measured wind gusts of 97 and 112 mph recently reported in the
       vicinity of Cedar Rapids IA. The 17Z sounding from DVN observed
       steep 700-500 mb lapse rates of 8.5 C/km. These lapse rates combined
       with strong heating of a very moist low-level airmass is supporting
       3000-3500 J/kg of MLCAPE downstream of the bow. The 25 kt of
       effective bulk shear also observed on the 17Z sounding is somewhat
       marginal for storm organization. Regardless, with the bow echo
       already very well developed/organized, confidence remains high that
       a swath of widespread, destructive damaging winds of 70-100+ mph
       will sweep eastward across northern IL and vicinity over the next
       hour or two. If the current fast eastward motion of the bow (around
       60 kt) holds steady, then the widespread damaging wind threat will
       increase across the Chicago metro area by 2000-2030Z (3 to 3:30 PM
       CDT). In addition to the substantial straight-line wind threat, some
       increase in the tornado threat may be developing on the northern
       flank of the bow, where mid-level rotation has recently been noted.
       Other cells have also formed ahead of the line across far southern
       WI and northern IL along a weak warm front, and this convection will
       pose a threat for isolated large hail, damaging winds, and perhaps a
       tornado or two.

    Statewide masking order goes into effect in Indiana on Monday for people over 8 years old.  I am not sure where that particular number is coming from.  I know there is some data out there to suggest that kids over age 10 and especially over age 15 are better at spreading the virus than younger kids.

    Ohio goes under a statewide order at 6pm today for 10 year olds and older. Obvious exceptions for medical conditions and eating and drinking.
