00:00Good morning from Peoria, Illinois, where a severe thunderstorm is approaching from
00:04the northwest.
00:05This is a morning complex of storms where the atmosphere should destabilize behind it
00:10by afternoon and evening ahead of the severe weather outbreak later on today.
00:14But it also might have a disrupting influence on a more significant tornado outbreak that
00:20might happen.
00:20This is associated with the lead disturbance and it has triggered a complex of storms or
00:25an MCS or a mesoscale convective system and it looks like it is turning into a bow echo
00:31which means it's going to be a very long-lived wind event as well.
00:34It is steamrolling through the Davenport, Iowa area this morning with 60 plus mile-per-hour
00:39winds and a rear inflow jet and this is approaching the Peoria, Illinois area right now with a new
00:46severe thunderstorm warning that has just been issued and you can see the shelf cloud right
00:50on the horizon here which is rapidly approaching northwestern Illinois.
00:54It is ahead of schedule, stronger and moving a little bit further south than last night's
00:59forecast models were showing.
01:00We will have to see how that will disrupt the evolution of the warm sector by afternoon and
01:06also the intensity of the severe weather outbreak and you can see that lightning strike that just
01:11happened near the front wall of the shelf cloud that's approaching.
01:15Severe thunderstorm warning about to be issued here for the Peoria, Illinois area and we expect
01:21winds gusting up to 60 miles an hour with this line.
01:24All right.
01:24All right.
