(3:00PM - 8/24/21) Multiple disturbances moving through the region will bring severe t'storm potential to portions of the state, through tonight.
Summary... Several disturbances are moving through the Plains, Midwest and Great Lakes, along the northern edge of ridge in place across the Central and Eastern US. These disturbances will aide in bringing severe t'storm potential to portions of the state, through tonight.
Forecast...
This Afternoon - Tonight, Aug 24th... While the threat for severe t'storms for today previously looked very low, things have taken a quick turn, with severe t'storm risk looking more likely across Northern Illinois for this afternoon into tonight. A few complexes of rain and t'storms have been moving across Minnesota and Wisconsin this morning and this afternoon. An outflow boundary associated with these complexes has been moving southward across Southern Wisconsin, and will settle into far Northern Illinois this afternoon and evening. This outflow boundary will provide focus for isolated to scattered shower and t'storm development this afternoon and evening, with an isolated severe t'storm risk being possible. With that all said, the main focus will be for later this afternoon into early tonight, as a complex of severe t'storms has developed across Northern Iowa is expected to sweep east-southeastward across Southern Wisconsin and Northern Illinois. As this complex moves across the aforementioned areas, an environment will be in place supportive of a severe t'storm risk with this activity. This environment will feature high instability of 3,000-5,500J/KG, dew points in the low to upper 70's, modest shear, modest forcing, and good lapse rates of 6.5-7.5C. This environment will be supportive of upwards of an isolated to scattered severe t'storm risk (levels 1-3) across portions of Northern Illinois. Damaging winds and hail will be the severe weather threats, though an isolated tornado can't be ruled out. Below are the severe t'storm forecasts for this event.

Recap Summary... Multiple disturbances moved through the region, Sunday Aug 8th through Thursday Aug 12th. These disturbances aided in multiple days featuring widespread severe t'storms across the state and region, including several tornadoes and widespread damaging winds across Northern Illinois.
Daily Recaps...
Sunday Afternoon - Sunday Night, Aug 8th... A large complex of t'storms that originated across Missouri spread northeastward across a large portion of the state, Sunday afternoon into Sunday night. Isolated to sporadic t'storms were severe with this complex, producing damaging winds. A few additional clusters of rain and t'storms moved across portions of the state Sunday night into early Monday morning, however none of this activity was severe. Monday Morning - Monday Night, Aug 9th... A large complex of t'storms that originated across Iowa on Sunday night, spread eastward across Northern Illinois Monday morning. No severe weather occurred with this activity. Additionally, a complex of rain and t'storms developed across Central and Southern Illinois Sunday night, which pushed across Central and Southern Illinois through Monday morning. No severe weather occurred with this activity. The main focus was Monday afternoon into early Monday night, as several supercell t'storms developed and moved southeastward across Northern Illinois. Scattered activity was severe, producing several tornadoes, and a few instances of damaging winds and hail. Tuesday Morning - Tuesday Night, Aug 10th... A large complex of severe t'storms developed across Southwest Wisconsin and Eastern Iowa Tuesday afternoon. This complex of severe t'storms then quickly moved eastward across Southern Wisconsin and Northern Illinois Monday, later Tuesday afternoon into early Tuesday night. This complex produced scattered severe t'storms with widespread damaging winds, causing widespread tree damage and power outages across Northern Illinois. Wednesday Morning - Wednesday Night, Aug 11th... A complex of rain and t'storms developed across Northwest Missouri, Southeast Iowa and Western Illinois early Wednesday morning. This complex quickly moved northeastward across portions of Northern and Central Illinois Wednesday morning. This complex produced sporadic to scattered severe t'storms with widespread damaging winds, causing widespread tree damage and power outages across portions of Northern Illinois. An additional round of widespread rain and t'storms developed Wednesday evening into Wednesday night across portions of Northern and Central Illinois. Isolated to sporadic t'storms were severe with this activity, producing some instances of damaging winds and hail. Thursday Morning - Thursday Night, Aug 12th... A broken complex of rain and t'storms was ongoing and further develops across Southern Iowa, Northern Missouri and Central Illinois Thursday morning. This complex grew further upscale, then pushing southward across Central and Southern Illinois, Thursday morning through Thursday night. Isolated to sporadic t'storms were severe with this activity, producing some instances of damaging winds and hail. Below are map representations of final forecasts for each day, as well as severe weather reports across the state and adjacent areas for each day.
