    Mesoscale Discussion 1101

    0638 PM CDT Thu Jun 11 2026

    Areas affected...Southwest Lower Michigan...central and northern
    Indiana...far western Ohio and eastern Illinois.

    Concerning...Severe potential...Watch needed soon=20

    Valid 112338Z - 120115Z

    Probability of Watch Issuance...95 percent

    SUMMARY...A tornado watch will be issued within the hour east of
    tornado watch 313.

    DISCUSSION...Instability continues to increase across northern
    Indiana and into southern Michigan as the outflow boundary from
    earlier convection continues to modify/lift northward. South of this
    boundary, an environment similar to the 21Z ILX RAOB is present with
    near 4000 J/kg MLCAPE. Along and north of the boundary instability
    is more limited, but shear is very strong with 250 m2/s2 0-1 km SRH
    and strong low-level clockwise curvature per an 22Z RAOB launched by
    the Valparaiso University Meteorological Department in Valparaiso,
    Indiana. Along and south of this boundary, widespread damaging winds
    are likely along a squall line this evening. In addition, embedded
    QLCS tornadoes and occasional embedded supercell tornadoes will be
    possible through the evening given the presence of strong low-level
    shear.

    The last few runs of the HRRR hint at some pre-frontal convection
    ahead of the line across central/northern Indiana later this
    evening, likely in response to the strengthening low-level jet. It
    is uncertain whether this will occur, or have sufficient time to
    mature before being caught by the main squall line, but these storms
    could pose an additional supercell tornado threat later this
    evening.
