afternoon through evening. Large hail, damaging winds, and
tornadoes will all be possible.
- Thunderstorms return to the forecast Wednesday through
Saturday. Severe storms remain possible Wednesday into
Wednesday night and flooding is increasingly likely in the

.DISCUSSION...
Issued at 1215 PM CDT Sun Mar 30 2025
Our potential for severe storms remains unchanged as this major
system makes entry and passage later this afternoon and evening.
Shear really picks up best after 21z, which is when moisture
return and instability is peaking just as the cold front makes
entry. All the CAMs have some form or fashion of a couple line
segments taking shape and moving over the area with likely
damaging winds, large hail, and potentially large/long-tracked
tornadoes. It looks like with time the system evolves into a
line/LEWP as the evening wears on, with embedded circulations
remaining a concern. And while some modeling (NAM for ex)
lingers it after midnight, most modeling suggests the worst of
it is past by then.
After a brief reprieve for a work week starting recovery, we
fire back up again by mid week. Wednesday into Wednesday night
still looks like the best time frame for our next potentially
major severe weather outbreak, with our entire region under a
30% Enhanced outlook. All modes severe will again be in play.
The other component that comes into greater focus on the back
half of the week is heavy rain and flooding potential. The
models have been consistently signalling numerous rounds of
showers/storms producing multiple inches of rainfall for the
area in the Wednesday-Saturday time frame. Projected storm
totals of 4-8" are not out of the question, and this will lead
to river and flash flooding issues. An ESF transitioning to a
Flood Watch looks to be soon forthcoming...as that message will
without doubt be amplified in the coming days.

.AVIATION /18Z TAFS THROUGH 18Z MONDAY/...
Issued at 1215 PM CDT Sun Mar 30 2025
Base restrictions already in play will continue with IFR to MVFR
CIGS prevailing, depsite occasional warm sector BINOVC that may
present at times. Scattered showers become prevalant thunderstorms
as the front nears/makes passage later this afternoon/evening
into the overnight. Gusty south to southwest winds ahead of the
front shift to northwest after passage, though some gusts may
come in with it as well.

.PAH WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES...
IL...None.
MO...None.
IN...None.
KY...None.
