    Mesoscale Discussion 1778
    NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK
    0855 PM CDT Mon Jul 27 2026

    Areas affected...portions of northern IL into far northern IN and
    central Lower MI

    Concerning...Severe potential...Watch unlikely

    Valid 280155Z - 280330Z

    Probability of Watch Issuance...5 percent

    SUMMARY...An isolated instance of severe hail may occur during the
    mature stage of the sparse storms in progress. The severe threat
    will be isolated, precluding a WW issuance.

    DISCUSSION...A few widely spaced multicells/transient supercells
    have become established within a strong 925-850 mb warm-air
    advection regime, where substantial MUCAPE and 60+ kts of effective
    bulk shear remains in place. The current expectation is for these
    storms to fluctuate in intensity for a few more hours, potentially
    producing a few marginally severe hailstones in the process.
    Nonetheless, the severe threat will remain sparse, so a WW issuance
    is not anticipated.
