Helicity is 300 to 400 m2/s2 in the area of DeKalb approaching higher levels near the lakeshore.  LL lapse rates are very good just to the south of the area.

Dews have mixed out a little around/south of I-80 where the better heating has occurred.  But waning diurnal heating/approach of sunset may bring them back up in that zone.

In sort of a convective hot spot at the moment.  Towering cumulus filling the sky, with a large thunderhead just about to move in from the southwest, and another nice one in the northeastern sky.  Getting bursts of very large rain drops from passing showers underneath some of the updrafts.  This whole area is likely to fill in and organize as it heads east and through the rest of IL as the eve goes on.

That area eventually did grow/organize, and is now the severe storm cluster southeast of Sterling.

   Areas affected...Southwest Michigan...northern Indiana...and far
   northwest Ohio

   Concerning...Severe potential...Watch needed soon 

   Valid 262339Z - 270045Z

   Probability of Watch Issuance...95 percent

   SUMMARY...A severe thunderstorm watch will be issued shortly across
   southwest Michigan, northern Indiana, and far northwest Ohio.

   DISCUSSION...Multiple clusters of storms across northern Illinois
   and southern Wisconsin have recently started to congeal across
   western Lake Michigan and northern Illinois. The severe-weather
   threat (especially damaging winds) is expected to increase as these
   clusters continue to organize. In addition, a tornado or two is
   possible, especially in far northern Indiana and southern Michigan
   where surface winds remain more backed near a warm front. However,
   relatively weak surface winds will be the primary limiting factor to
   a greater tornado threat. 

   A severe thunderstorm watch will be issued by 00Z across this
   region.

Initial storm came through here with 50-55MPH winds, and isolated tree damage. Have had a few other bursts of 40mph+ winds with a few embedded cells from time to time.

Also have been in a mini train, with 1.59" of rain in last 40mins and still coming down.
