   AREAS AFFECTED...CNTRL IL INTO CNTRL/SRN IND
   
   CONCERNING...SEVERE POTENTIAL...WATCH UNLIKELY 
   
   VALID 290440Z - 290615Z
   
   THE POTENTIAL FOR ISOLATED SEVERE STORMS CAPABLE OF DAMAGING WINDS
   AND PERHAPS SOME HAIL APPEARS TO BE INCREASING ACROSS THE AREA.  A
   WW IS NOT ANTICIPATED.
   
   A BROKEN LINE OF TSTMS IS SLOWLY INTENSIFYING AS OF 0430Z FROM SW OF
   MIE TO NEAR BLV.  IT APPEARS THAT THIS ACTIVITY IS BEING FOCUSED
   WITHIN A LOW-LEVEL CONFLUENCE ZONE AND AHEAD OF THE NEXT VORTICITY
   MAXIMUM ROTATING AROUND GREAT LAKES UPPER LOW.  THE AMBIENT
   THERMODYNAMIC ENVIRONMENT IS LIKELY ONLY MARGINALLY UNSTABLE AND
   SOMEWHAT SIMILAR TO THE 00Z ILX SOUNDING...BUT WITH WEAKENING
   LOW-LEVEL LAPSE RATES.  HOWEVER...THE INCREASED LARGE-SCALE FORCING
   FOR ASCENT AND RELATIVELY STRONG DEEP-LAYER SPEED SHEAR MAY SUPPORT
   SOME FURTHER INTENSIFICATION WITH THE POTENTIAL FOR LOCALLY DAMAGING
   WIND GUSTS AND PERHAPS SOME HAIL.
   
   CURRENTLY...IT APPEARS THAT ANY SEVERE WEATHER THREAT SHOULD REMAIN
   ISOLATED AND A WW IS NOT ANTICIPATED.
