No shortage of energy for storms to form on Sunday.  High end potential from what I'm seeing 

Good potential for sure.  Still a little bit to iron out.  Looks like there could be an initial round of convection in part of the target area.  Should destabilize again in the wake of that, but that will be something to monitor for the northward extent of the threat.

Smaller enhanced risk now for Day 2. Maybe the CAMs and CIPS analogs are onto something...

Still could be significant (and as usual it only takes one) but I'm thinking Sunday will end up being the bigger day

Pretty surprised that the enhanced area isn't farther north and east into Ohio.

 Day 3 Convective Outlook  
   NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK
   0230 AM CDT Fri May 24 2024

   Valid 261200Z - 271200Z

   ...THERE IS AN ENHANCED RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS SUNDAY INTO
   SUNDAY NIGHT ACROSS PARTS OF SOUTHEASTERN IOWA...EASTERN
   MISSOURI...MUCH OF CENTRAL AND SOUTHERN ILLINOIS...MUCH OF CENTRAL
   AND SOUTHERN INDIANA...WESTERN AND CENTRAL KENTUCKY...

   ...SUMMARY...
   Severe thunderstorms are likely Sunday into Sunday night across
   parts of the middle Mississippi and lower Ohio Valleys.

   ...Synopsis...
   Models indicate that initially low-amplitude mid-level troughing,
   comprised of at least a couple smaller-scale perturbations emerging
   from the Great Basin and Southwest, will progress northeast and east
   of the lower Missouri Valley and central Great Plains during the day
   Sunday.  It appears that this will be accompanied by notable further
   deepening of a relatively compact developing cyclone across the
   lower Missouri Valley through the Upper Great Lakes region by late
   Sunday night.  There may also be a gradual consolidation of
   mid-level troughing centered over the Mississippi Valley, within
   amplifying flow across the northern mid-latitudes of the eastern
   Pacific through North America.

   ...Southeastern Great Lakes through Ohio Valley/Great Lakes...
   Given the large potential instability associated with low-level
   moisture return through the warm sector of the developing cyclone,
   beneath at least initially capping elevated mixed-layer air, strong
   to severe thunderstorm development may accompany mid-level height
   falls across a potentially sizable area of the interior U.S.  The
   details of this evolution remain uncertain, due spread within/among
   the model output concerning the synoptic and sub-synoptic
   developments, which may include one or two substantial clusters of
   convective development across the lower Missouri Valley at the
   outset of the period.

   At the present time, model output seems suggestive that the most
   probable convective evolution may include early period convection
   weakening while spreading across and east of the middle Mississippi
   Valley during the day.  In its wake, a corridor of strengthening
   differential surface heating may develop along the western flank of
   modifying convective outflow across parts of the lower Ohio Valley
   northwestward through the middle Mississippi Valley. 

   By Sunday afternoon, renewed convective development may focus near
   the intersection of the outflow and a southward advancing cold front
   across the west central Illinois/northeastern Missouri vicinity. 
   Supported by large mixed-layer CAPE and strong shear, the
   environment likely will be conducive to supercells initially, before
   low-level warm advection along the remnant outflow supports an
   upscale growing cluster which should tend to forward propagate
   southeastward across the lower Ohio into Tennessee Valley through
   Sunday evening.  While convection may gradually increase along the
   southward advancing front to the southwest of the outflow boundary,
   the outflow boundary/differential heating zone seems likely to
   become the focus for the primary severe weather hazards, including a
   large hail/supercell tornado risk to damaging winds and perhaps a
   continuing QLCS tornado threat.

I'm not surprised one bit when it comes to IL/IN 12z NAM/3km continues to show possible extreme conditions on sunday

This is just south of Bloomington IL on sunday

I'm always a little leery looking at forecast soundings that may be contaminated by convection, as this one may be as suggested by the pink bars on the left side.  Do you have one that doesn't have that (or at least very minimally?)

They might want to postpone the Indy 500 if this keeps up

I went back and looked at 5/30/2004 race day... that day started out as moderate risk in Indianapolis before eventually going high risk.  I think it would take a lot for officials to postpone the race and I don't really see that happening, but a major tornado bearing down on the Indianapolis Motor Speedway is undoubtedly one of the top nightmare scenarios for anyone in emergency management.  At this point, the main severe threat for Indianapolis looks like it could hold off until after the race is done, but things are subject to change.

True I can look when I get home later its kind of hard to do on mobile but I get what your saying...Right before I left home today I looked at the 3km it was showing a similar idea but a bit later in the day from the looks of it
