Sitting smack-dab in the enhanced zone. Normally I would be kind of excited about that. Not today....not with this set up, the uncertainty at this point, and the heat ahead. For being a decade in the past, 2012 still resonates pretty fresh around here.

I'd imagine we're about to see these two clusters combine and turn southeast. Can't imagine it'll commit suicide by continuing into Lake Michigan-modified air when it's got a warm front to ride.

Edit: Actually, I don't know. That 60 knot 500mb jet streak might prevent it from diving southeast. This is tough.

Not to mention there was no morning convection here, so it's been sunny all day thus far. So there's that too..

Latest Day 1 is out. Mentions upgrade to Moderate may still be warranted... "An upgrade to Moderate Risk may still be warranted across parts of the region (particularly Lower Michigan, northern Indiana and/or Ohio) pending subsequent observational trends and increased confidence in a preferred sub-regional corridor of intense storm development."image.png.69b4a56feecd896aa32704e1e59df1b1.pngimage.png.59c921c4c40668c849cd29d5d3fc5601.png

15% hatched expanded to the Ohio river too it appears 

Kinda reminds me of a hurricane forecast. They're basically saying it can go anywhere in the hatched area, but the 30% is most likely

Nice surprise to be included in this

Mesoscale Discussion 1143
   NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK
   1229 PM CDT Mon Jun 13 2022

   Areas affected...East-Central IL...Central/Southern IN...Southwest
   OH...Northern KY

   Concerning...Severe potential...Watch likely 

   Valid 131729Z - 131930Z

   Probability of Watch Issuance...80 percent

   SUMMARY...Strong to severe thunderstorms capable of large hail and
   damaging  wind gusts may develop over the next few hours. Potential
   exists for the development of a convective line capable of strong
   wind gusts.

   DISCUSSION...Recent surface observations across the Lower/Mid OH
   Valley sampled a very moist air mass, with dewpoints in the upper
   70s/low 80s. Surface temperatures across this region have reached
   the low 90s. These low-level thermodynamic conditions beneath steep
   mid-level lapse rates is contributing to extreme instability. Recent
   mesoanalysis estimates MLCAPE over 5000 J/kg and recent RAP
   soundings show a surface-based LI of -13 to -14 deg C. Mesoanalysis
   also indicates convective inhibition has eroded across much of the
   region, despite very warm low to mid-level temperatures.

   An area of deeper cumulus has developed just northeast of the
   strongest buoyancy, in the open warm sector well southwest of the
   warm front. Mesoanalysis reveals this cumulus is within an area of
   modest moisture convergence likely resultant from a subtle wind
   shift. Lighting has also been noted within this region during the
   last half hour. Given the thermodynamic conditions, very strong
   updrafts/downdrafts are possible. Moderate vertical shear is also in
   place, suggesting storm organization is possible. 

   Evolution of this development is still uncertain, owing to the weak
   large-scale forcing for ascent and warm low to mid-level
   temperatures. However, the overall pattern and presence of extreme
   buoyancy suggest the potential exists for the development of a
   well-organized convective line. Most likely corridor for progression
   of this line would be across central/southern IN and into southwest
   OH and adjacent northern KY.
