That’s a nasty debris ball.

Also, just looked at the radar…I did not expect that lol.

TORE now. Unbelievable.

Let’s get it to the “windy” city

Is it spicy outside? Yes. But give me longer days and this weather over shorter days and the February glacier. Fruit season is in, too. Cantaloupe and watermelon have been slapping lately after a bit of a slow start.

so far the line of storms coming out of WV and western MD seems to be holding together pretty well - wondering what it will do when it comes over the mountains and hits the pea soup air over us right now. If it keeps moving quickly it'll hit before we completely lose sunlight...

I just live here. I do have a met degree and used to storm chase a bit. I don’t pay for model data as much as others here, so I’m mostly in the same boat as you. I just have good weather intuition, usually. The mesoscale charts on the SPC page I find the most useful during severe weather. I know Michigan well because I grew up here.

Woah

Topped out @ 95F today.

Nice little storm rolling through the low end of Huntingdon county

Nice outflow boundary blew through. Nasty storms further out east.

So clearly defined. Haven't seen a clear, detached debris ball like that in a while. Nothing much else impeding it either in the near term outside of the two small cells to its southeast

Pretty breezy here, I assume from outflow boundary from storms in SE CT? Maybe be sea breeze?

Solid storm on Fishers. Constant thunder for an hour. A fair number of CGs over the water. A welcome drink for the plants most of all.

Yea those two terminals laughed in my face. Looks like they took off in the late afternoon.

Looks like many more chances the next 10 days or so!

Violent tornado in progress near Metamora IL, amazing low reflectivity debris ball.

There were nasty steamy highs of 92 at ATL and 94 at SAV.

Sunday The 00z models have trended toward a much stronger short-wave trough and associated mid-level jet, which will progress from the Great Lakes and OH Valley into the Northeast. Elsewhere, a short-wave trough is forecast to move from the northern Rockies into the central Plains. At the surface, a cold front attendant to the Northeast short-wave trough will move through that region with the trailing extension of the boundary pushing south through the OH and TN Valleys into the Gulf Coast states. A much stronger low-level jet is now forecast ahead of the cold front across the Northeast, which will aid in greater air mass destabilization than indicated in previous model runs. When coupled with notably stronger vertical shear, the setup appears favorable for organized severe storms across the Mid-Atlantic, potentially into southern New England Sunday afternoon and evening

Phones going off in Walmart. 80mph winds? Sky is green.

Just had a legit meso pass right over about 10 mins ago. Really thought it might plant right there. Serious rippage with nice downward motion on the back side. Couplet is now over Lyndon. Thing is hauling ass northeast.

Lol
