It’s amazing how well Iowa does derecho

Yes I’ve been thinking Steiner here today and tomorrow. This is a west of 91 deal. It was this areas turn to Stein this summer after getting so much rain last summer while others missed .35 MTD

looks like my high's 91 ... but with 72 DP it's definitely the highest HI of summer so far. We did get that 97 F day back in the heat wave early in May, but the DP in that was like 53 or something parched.

Good call on including Springfield in the watch even though none of Sangamon County falls within the watch box. (Same with Morgan and Scott counties as well). Especially after what happened on the north side of the city and in eastern Sangamon County last night. It was probably going to eventually get locally extended here too so might as well get it out of the way. But interesting how the rest of the counties where I-72 goes through--all containing big population centers--were omitted for now barring a later local extension--even though the south edges of the watch box were closer to those counties than Sangamon? (Macon--Decatur; Piatt--Monticello; and Champaign--C/U--plus although 72 ends at C/U you have Danville and Vermilion county excluded from the watch at this time. Unless SPC in cooperation with ILX is seeing something that I'm not?

It might slip S of you even... but for the time being it looks like CT's under the gone as that one severe cell is now grouped into a cluster of CB/rad bombs moving ESE from S of Albany. Slow movement though..they may be terrain assisted.

yea full sun and no wind

Maybe hit 90 today? At least tied for warmest today.

We have a word for that Stein

SPC discussion is out: https://www.spc.noaa.gov/products/md/md1091.html

95 here. Roasting.

100 here now

well ...looks like the models are going to nail the idea of we get blazing heat with nothing to show for it here in the east. no shit -

Impressive downburst signature approaching the City of Pittsburgh. Radar showing between 47 - 60 kts between 700-2,500 ft. AGL near the radar site.

Lots of chasers reporting VERY strong winds leading to quick recovery. Will see how much that affects Chicagoland area but do think we recover some compared to previous crapvection days

Do you a lot of sun? I have a full cloud deck here, so was 92 now 89.

same. Central LI compression zone as usual. bouncing between 95 and 96

94 .. HI 108.. DP 78... Worst weather

80/60 tor probs URGENT - IMMEDIATE BROADCAST REQUESTED Tornado Watch Number 313 NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK 155 PM CDT Thu Jun 11 2026 The NWS Storm Prediction Center has issued a * Tornado Watch for portions of Southern and Eastern Iowa Northern and Central Illinois Northwest Indiana Northern Missouri Southern Wisconsin Lake Michigan * Effective this Thursday afternoon and evening from 155 PM until 900 PM CDT. * Primary threats include... Several tornadoes and a couple intense tornadoes likely Widespread damaging winds and isolated significant gusts to 80 mph likely Scattered large hail and isolated very large hail events to 2.5 inches in diameter possible SUMMARY...A complex scenario remains apparent this afternoon across the Midwest. Any supercells which can become surface based will pose a threat for strong tornadoes and large to very large hail given a rather favorable environment. The threat for widespread severe/damaging winds will increase through the afternoon/evening as thunderstorms likely grow upscale into an intense bowing cluster. Peak gusts may reach up to 70-80 mph. The tornado watch area is approximately along and 80 statute miles north and south of a line from 45 miles west northwest of Kirksville MO to 80 miles east northeast of Marseilles IL. For a complete depiction of the watch see the associated watch outline update (WOUS64 KWNS WOU3). PRECAUTIONARY/PREPAREDNESS ACTIONS... REMEMBER...A Tornado Watch means conditions are favorable for tornadoes and severe thunderstorms in and close to the watch area. Persons in these areas should be on the lookout for threatening weather conditions and listen for later statements and possible warnings. && OTHER WATCH INFORMATION...This tornado watch replaces tornado watch number 311. Watch number 311 will not be in effect after 155 PM CDT. CONTINUE...WW 312... AVIATION...Tornadoes and a few severe thunderstorms with hail surface and aloft to 2.5 inches. Extreme turbulence and surface wind gusts to 70 knots. A few cumulonimbi with maximum tops to 600. Mean storm motion vector 26035. ...Gleason

If you're not in a flash flood watch or a derecho warning, your in a tornado watch, severe thunderstorm watch, or high heat advisory, from boston clear to cedar rapids. can't get any deeper into summer than that

Exactly what predictions are failing, other then nonsense from Al Gore? .

Stopped at BDL to assess. Going to head towards Torrington

Relax boys, it’s going to be fun. Round 2 will deliver

Rapid recovery occurring across the southern half of the DVN CWA.

I was just thinking this as well. Both points. What got me is the amount of hype locally. Then last night most of the city lost power… not due to the “storms” but ironically a transformer failure at the main city substation at the same time the wind driven sprinkles and shelf cloud moved in. Now everyone here is expecting the sky to fall this evening “because how bad it was last night and it’s supposed to be worse tonight” lol. I’ve seen countless posts on Facebook, YouTube.. etc of it and it’s pretty ridiculous.
