That is a huge tornado warning polygon south of Kankakee.

@radarman I see this bird migration stuff from CornellLab a lot and I see UMass-Amherst as one of the contributors. Are they honestly using ground clutter from radiation inversions for this? That’s the impression I get from their daily tracking loops and examples. I thought maybe you would know more. https://birdcast.org/a-primer-for-using-weather-surveillance-radar-to-study-bird-migration/

I think this qualifies as the most ridiculous squall line in the history of squall lines.

Yeah, folks think he's bad now, he's actually mellowed. Well, let's just say he's aged like Ripple missing the bottle cap. Way back when there were no cameras around he was the WORST! I swung on him in a hotel parking lot after happy hour and missed 30 years ago lol

That’s a lot of tornado warnings

The blue dot is where my friend lives and I live in Upper Graniteville. The track was through the area labeled Jackson Corners.

Great Picture!

Pretty good picture.

I managed a grand total of 0.01" overnight last night. Just enough to make the truck look even worse dirty.

Narrator voice - “looks like it”

I agree with the 3 wild card spots if you can be around .500 around the trade deadline you have a chance. Disagree on the defense Ward and O'Neil are not going to be different players than they've been for several seasons Beavers has not been good either. Cowser is better suited in left. Not sure how you fix the D this year. Basillo is not good behind the plate. There bottom 5 in most defensive metrics

Waiting to see if this bowing segment near mendota makes it up here

Hmm, well, I may be wishcasting again. From the current MCD: Eastward expansion of WW 131 will likely be needed in the coming hours across portions of eastern IL. Drier low-level conditions downstream across IN casts some uncertainty on how intense the line will be beyond roughly the 05-06 UTC time frame into IN, but convective trends will be monitored for the need for downstream watch issuance.

Is that the dry slot we had during the snow storm showing up here with the more extreme part going through the triangle?

I count 16 Tornado Warnings from Oklahoma to Wisconsin right now. QLCS madness.

That lines still looking Shrimpy

Yeah, we should be able to squeeze a decent late night storm. Despite being outside of the main action area(s) these past few days, has been nice to grab consistent chance at thunder.

Meanwhile, in the UP... rapid melt ongoing. The persistent fog this month has returned but is ushering in much colder weather for the next couple days that will slow the melt before temps warm again next week.

What a run. Congrats! I feel like this line is going to hold it together enough to get us a real strong gust front tonight.

4th times the charm here between Roscoe and Rockton. All 4 roads in and out of my hood are closed, trees and power lines littering the roads. No power, no internet, partying like it’s 1899.

78 for the high today.

If we could get weatherbell to put out a pollen accumulation graph in Kuchera ratios I bet it would be more than we get in snow during an average winter.

I'll save CoastalWx the trouble -- WCWGTH??

very high winds at Macomb, IL

What are the outlined areas with the 45 near them? Or what does the outline signify?
