Saying that it is unstable this afternoon is putting it very lightly. In fact, the atmosphere has become exceptionally unstable heading into the afternoon. SBCAPE over 5,000 J/kg, with MLCAPE over 3,000 J/kg. #NWOhioWx #OHwx #weather

Gradients make me think this thing is going to start in Iowa and move SE through Illinois and into SE Illinois and Southern IN/Northern KY.
I can’t look at meso myself
But that’s the inclination I’m getting.
The issue is where is the forcing?

Corn sweat, a Midwest summer tradition

So the corn sweat is acting as a forcing mechanism?

Ed Tierney (Oak Lawn, IL) 10-Aug-21 03:35 PM
No the corn sweat is helping enhance the dew points and driving the extreme instability

The cap we've had is the only reason why this hasn't exploded much sooner

Anyone’s thoughts for Northeast Missouri?

Good luck chasing that area. Bad radar. Bad terrain. I know little about the climatology how ever

Blasting north, not really seeing the setup for anything in IL
Best guess is that MCS blasts southern WI
