I was up there in Feb2007 and crazy epic

four tornado warnings in northern Illinois

Can say multi tornado language is something I haven’t seen before

Certainly looks like rotation north and south

That thing has to be rain wrapped

4 consecutive days and counting of 90+.

Reasonable outcome, but I don't put much stock in the output, otherwise.

Confirmed near Sublette.

Is that twinsies on that one northern cell?

Night of Twisters 2 being written in Illinois tonight.

Looks like rotation may be tightening a little bit too?

Seminole Indians didn’t even stay there year round.

Don't believe everything you read over in the main El Niño thread.

Tornado warning for Lee Center, IL, it is north of I-80 and north of Princeton

Awesome! Not sure if this warranted a PDS though lol

From Reed Timmer of that tornado.

I was in the QC a few hours ago when that large area of congested cu passed overhead. They were looking very tornado-y even then.

Damn literally everything is brotating down there

Nice to see that round number two popped about 20 miles east of here. We're really on a roll here.

If we add this 1874 to 1893 raw data onto a time series consisting of raw Chester County COOP data, pooled by day for days having both a Tmin and Tmax raw data reading, we see some positive slopes. Not that we should be working with raw data to develop climate trends. Paul, observer records are here, so you can verify the raw data source https://www.ncei.noaa.gov/access/search/publications/forts-publication/?p=1
