       to 75 mph possible
     Scattered large hail and isolated very large hail events to 2.5
       inches in diameter possible

   SUMMARY...Multiple elevated supercells will likely develop through
   the early morning hours before growing upscale into a linear cluster
   that may eventually bow across central to south-central Iowa.

   The severe thunderstorm watch area is approximately along and 75
   statute miles east and west of a line from 45 miles east of Lamoni
   IA to 15 miles west northwest of Worthington MN. For a complete
   depiction of the watch see the associated watch outline update
   (WOUS64 KWNS WOU1).

   PRECAUTIONARY/PREPAREDNESS ACTIONS...

   REMEMBER...A Severe Thunderstorm Watch means conditions are
   favorable for severe thunderstorms in and close to the watch area.
   Persons in these areas should be on the lookout for threatening
   weather conditions and listen for later statements and possible
   warnings. Severe thunderstorms can and occasionally do produce
   tornadoes.

Line looking pretty good for now, especially the central IL portion.  

Yeah, we'll have to see if it maintains or increases its momentum as it enters IN.  Pretty juicy here at 84/74.  Also concerned about the line entering LaCrosse CWA now for Chi- town and NW IN later.

Looks like an overzealous outlook.
The main threat will be across IA into W IL later tonight into early tomorrow morning, before a weakening MCS spreads east from there. There's high agreement for that scenario as well.

As expected...

The SPC holding on to the ENH with the new D1 is lolz.

SOURCE...ASOS OBSERVATION. AT 243 PM, A 73 MPH THUNDERSTORM WIND   
         GUST WAS REPORTED AT THE INDIANAPOLIS INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT.  
  

I saw that. It looks like the leading edge is right over your head, although from velocities on radar, it looks like I-70 and south is getting raked with winds.

Yes. the heavier part of the storm was to the south of me with southern Hancock being affected.   I had some good winds with the gust front several minutes prior to the rain here IMBY but lucked out on the svr.  Lots of tree and power line damage reports coming in from Indy metro west to the state line though.  Had to phone IND NWS prior to the storm arrival though because NWS warning polygons were not appearing on their radar site.  Got it corrected.
