 An intense line of thunderstorms is screaming across the state of Illinois at this time, leaving numerous severe wind reports in it's wake. Trees and power poles have been taken down in both Iowa and Illinois, and structural damage has been reported from McDonough County, Illinois.
It is likely that this system is evolving/intensifying into a derecho, and it will continue into Indiana and points east as the day progresses. Right now severe thunderstorm watches and warnings are in place for central Illinois and Indiana; I would not be surprised if the watch box in Indiana is upgraded to a "PDS" watch box as the more intense system enters the state!

Re:Derecho taking shape in midwest!
Aug 04 2009 20:26:05 This Derecho produced a nice Outflow Boundary earlier this afternoon. I believe it has initiated storm, that is heading right for Nashville (Me)! 30% Hail risk, 2% Tornado. Interesting to see!
