SIGNIFICANT WEATHER OUTLOOK

500 AM CDT MON JUL 22 2002

...HUMID WITH THUNDERSTORMS TODAY AND THEN QUIET WEATHER...

A COLD FRONT WILL SLOWLY MOVE THROUGH THE REGION TODAY BRINGING
THUNDERSTORMS WITH COOLER BUT HUMID CONDITIONS. DEW POINTS ARE EXPECTED
TO REMAIN ABOVE 70 DEGREES FOR MUCH OF THE DAY BEFORE FALLING INTO THE
60S LATE THIS AFTERNOON.

THE LOW LEVEL JET IS FORECAST TO WEAKEN DURING THE MORNING DECREASING
WIND SHEAR. THIS WEAKENED SHEAR AND LOW INSTABILITY SHOULD PREVENT ANY
STORMS FROM BEING SEVERE THIS MORNING.

SEVERE STORMS MAY DEVELOP ALONG THE FRONT THIS AFTERNOON AS THE
ATMOSPHERE DESTABILIZES ACROSS CENTRAL AND NORTHEAST ILLINOIS. IF
SEVERE STORMS DO DEVELOP THIS AFTERNOON...IT WOULD BE EAST OF A KEOKUK
IOWA TO ROCKFORD ILLINOIS LINE. THE MAIN THREAT WOULD BE DAMAGING WIND.

HIGH PRESSURE BUILDS INTO THE AREA TONIGHT THROUGH MID WEEK BRINGING
QUIET WEATHER AND LOWER HUMIDITY LEVELS.

SPOTTER ACTIVATION MAY OCCUR THIS AFTERNOON EAST OF A KEOKUK TO
ROCKFORD LINE.
