Radar
NWS Chicago radar (KLOT) imagery from 12:30 to 2:20 P.M. on August 29 with 0.5° reflectivity (top) and 0.5° velocity (bottom). This depicts the intensifying wind surge with southeastward progress of the bowing structure over the Kankakee River Valley that produced 60 to 80 mph winds and widespread tree damage. |

Environment (courtesy of NWS Northern Indiana):
1 P.M. Instability: Surface-based CAPE showing a plume of high to extreme instability over the Kankakee River Valley. | 1 P.M. Downdraft Potential: Downdraft CAPE indicating values of 1,000-1,400 J/kg which are favorable for downward acceleration of downdrafts. |
1 P.M. Effective Shear: Increasing values as stronger upper and mid-level winds expanded from west to east across the area, and this supported storm organization into a mature, progressive complex. | 1 P.M. Low-level Shear: Strengthening 0-3 km shear from west to east into the maturing thunderstorm complex allowed for greater downdraft-induced cold pool sustainability and potential for momentum transfer of higher winds to ground level. |
