https://www.spc.noaa.gov/products/md/md1097.html Mesoscale Discussion 1097 NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK 0513 PM CDT Thu Jun 11 2026 Areas affected...portions of central into northeast Illinois Concerning...Tornado Watch 313... Valid 112213Z - 112315Z The severe weather threat for Tornado Watch 313 continues. SUMMARY...A strong tornado is likely ongoing across Woodford County, Illinois. The strong tornado threat from this storm is expected to continue for several more hours as it moves northeast. DISCUSSION...A debris ball has developed within a low-reflectivity hook west of Washburn, Illinois at 2205Z. This supercell is in a very favorable environment near the modifying outflow boundary across north-central Illinois. The KILX 21Z RAOB showed a very favorable environment with 0-500m SRH of 151 m2/s2. Recent VWP trends from ILX suggest this las likely increased within the past hour also. Given the continued northward movement of the outflow boundary and the discrete nature of this storm, expect an EF3+ tornado threat to continue for several more hours this evening as it moves east/northeast. ..Bentley/Smith.. 06/11/2026 ...Please see www.spc.noaa.gov for graphic product...

Idk anything about the town of Toluca but it doesn't look good for them.

RDU officially recorded 101.

That’s cool. You, @MazooWeather and I should all get together for a chase.. Or lunch. Something. Would be a good time. Always appreciate both of your .02. We don’t have many on the west side of the mitten any more. @WestMichigan too. @sbnwx85is close enough to count too lol. Also… 21z HRRR completely tapped out. Hopefully we get upscale growth and enough LLJ to vent something over here later.

Which presumably means SPC expects that line to keep going. Lets goooooo

It’s like 200kt gtg

detached tornado debris signature and vortex signature west of Washburn IL

Watch coming shortly for Eastern Shore https://www.spc.noaa.gov/products/md/md1096.html

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

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