Artic Blast, Warm IL, Causing Instabiliy




Well as there is an artic blast blowing by just to our N NE it is helping fuel some instability in IL and MO. This afternoon looks like it could be an interesting day, I would say hail and high winds would be the mail concern but there could be just enough fuel to drive some tornados down. I notice TVN chaser Andrew Pritchard is in central IL as we speak getting read for a chase. I wish him the best of luck and hope he gets some footage to brag about! Below is a surface map that is showing the artic blast driving some cold dry air right into the warm front located right on top of IL, when these two meet it could spark some interesting sights.
As for the rest of the week in NW IA, it looks pretty calm. We are going to have a warm front push N and give us some more pleasent weather starting Thursday night into Friday. Until then this artic blast will cause us to be in the teens tomorrow
