New Mesoscale Discussion

* The Storm Prediction Center has issued a new Mesoscale Discussion for our area...Here are some highlights:

-- Greatest potential for damaging winds/tornadoes lies with the line of thunderstorms to our west, near the I-55 corridor

-- High levels of shear are overcoming marginal instability values to keep the threat of tornadoes going

-- Any tornado that does occur will likely do so as part of a linear complex
