MID-LVL WAVE MOVING EWD ACROSS E IA AND APPROACHING S WI/N IL AT THIS HR.
THREAT OF LONG-TERM CELL TRAINING SEEMS TO HAVE DIMINISHED GREATLY OVER
LAST HR AS STRONGEST CELLS ARE BEGINNING TO ORIENT THEMSELVES MORE SW-NE
ACROSS CENTRAL AND NE IL.  HVY RAIN ASSOCIATED WITH THIS TSTMS CLUSTER IS
EXPECTED TO CONTINUE MOVING EWD ACROSS N-CENTRAL IL AND INTO N-CENTRAL
IN AND SW MI IN OVER THE NEXT SEVERAL HRS.  ALONG THE S EDGE OF THE
CLUSTER..CLOUD TOPS HAVE UNDERGONE SOME COOLING AND EXPANSION PROBABLY
IN RESPONSE TO THE MID-LVL WAVE AND A MORE DIRECT SSW LLVL FLOW NOW THAT
THE TSTMS CLUSTER OVER S IL HAS WEAKENED SIGNIFICANTLY IN THE PAST COUPLE
HRS.  RAINFALL AMOUNTS MAY REACH UP TO 1.0-1.25" WITH THE PASSAGE OF THE
