  1. this is what it looks like now, west of Decatur, MI
  2. So this is maybe a tornado in North Aurora or Batavia?
  3. It looked like the rotation continued near Jonesville, but I don't know if any tornado ever happened.
  4. Tornado reported just on the north side of Pella
  5. looks like a weakly-rotating left moving supercell.
  6. For what it's worth- the 12z NAM supercell composite parameter with 500mb wind overlay for tonight-
  7. Yes, there was a weak storm near me, but a more impressive storm near Cheyenne what was visible at about 8:00
  8. possible tornado northwest of Dayton. The rotation area has been near Ithaca, OH recently, but I don't know if there have been any tornado reports
  9. Certainly the debris signature is moving into Ohio. I think the tornado still may be going.
  10. Here is an overlay of the NAM supercell composite parameter (which is normally overdone with CAPE) with 500mb wind barbs on Friday afternoon. The high supercell composite parameters are a result in excellent placement of CAPE/ SRH/ 0-6km shear. This seems like a very good setup for reasonably fast-moving severe storms for NW Ohio and into pretty much all parts of Ohio, and possibly starting off with severe storms in northern Indiana.
  11. Today- high temps around 100 degrees were common here. For my area, there were some clouds today, and it even got at or close to 100 before and after the clouds. sunset on 6/15 with forest fire smoke
  12. It got up to 100 at a couple of Loveland mesonet stations. Fort Collins-CSU broke a record with 98, exceeding a previous record of 94. Phoenix tied a record high of 115.
  13. I put my indoor thermometer on the front porch in the shade and I got 98.5 today. The heat is coming in too early this year!
  14. Some storms built over my area, going slightly westward at sunset. Despite the rainy month of May, this is only the 2nd day when I have seen lightning this year.
  15. There really have been about 20-25 severe reports around Topeka, mostly wind, with a measured wind gust of 80mph. Kansas City may be getting high winds now, but there are no reports of trees down next to Kansas City yet. edit: some severe reports are north and south of Kansas City, although the storm did go through town.
  16. My area got to about 95, which is maybe 3 degrees warmer than yesterday, I think Sunset with forest fire smoke from SE Utah my picture of Devil's Backbone park in Loveland. There's a hole in the rock. Thankfully, I did not take this picture when it was 95 degrees!
  17. Here's an insane RAP model sounding from central Nebraska, which won't necessarily be the focus of severe weather today.
  18. The 06z GFS, 12z GFS, Canadian and Euro today have a tropical system near the Texas coast in about 9-10 days, coming from the Bay of Campeche.
  19. There is a fairly large enhanced risk area for tomorrow, for the sparsely-populated western Dakotas. HREF has updraft helicity tracks in almost all parts of the Dakotas and Nebraska.
  20. A short-lived Greeley metro area tornado with low shear. As for me, I'm hearing the first thunder I've heard this year. It seems like it went from 60 degrees to 90 degrees in a couple of days recently. Edit: first time I saw lightning this year location of rotation max near Firestone, CO
  21. This is a surprising statement, as other areas of the Dakotas get above 100 sometimes. Other record-breaking temps: Bismarck: 106, Jamestown: 102, Minot: 105, Dickinson: 97.
