Am becoming a bit concerned about the storms forming along I-39 and U,S, 51 in Illinois that I presume is the area of the front itself. Svr warnings are starting to come out now along it.

Seems to be a bit of confusion at NWS Chicago. "Radar confirmed" tornado warning issued for the Oak Brook area and shortly thereafter cancelled. Was there an actual touchdown? Tag said "observed."

No svr or tor warnings as yet. I would sit tight for awhile till a storm warning is issued to give you some directional guidance.

Lots of ACCAS clouds in west central IL and ne MO.

Tor watch just issued till 0100Z. Storms starting to form now around Peoria and Lincoln areas moving n/ne. Will they break the cap?

Yes...flat enough to chase and positioned in a good area if radar returns require you to move in any direction. Watch for Illinois river crossings however.

Dews have jumped to the low 60's in central IL with sporadic clearing. New SPC meso discussion looks interesting. Watch that WF and triple point.

Anything that primes the pump before a possible svr wx scenario is concerning to me. And as I have mentioned before since the April 20, 2004 Utica Illinois tornado warm fronts draping the area raise my suspicion.
