Their discussion...

...IL/IND/OH...
   A RATHER STRONG SURFACE COLD FRONT IS SAGGING SOUTHWARD ACROSS
   NORTHERN IL AND INTO WESTERN LOWER MI.  RESIDUAL DEWPOINTS IN THE
   MID 60S AND COOLING TEMPERATURES ALOFT...COUPLED WITH FULL
   SUNSHINE...WILL YIELD AFTERNOON MLCAPE VALUES AROUND 1500 J/KG AND
   STEEP LAPSE RATES.  MOST MODELS SUPPORT THE DEVELOPMENT OF A LINE OF
   CONVECTION FROM CENTRAL IL...ACROSS IND...INTO OH BY LATE AFTERNOON.
    THE ENVIRONMENT IN THIS REGION WOULD SUPPORT A RISK OF HAIL AND
   GUSTY/DAMAGING WINDS IN THE STRONGER CELLS.
