944 mb extrapolated, 101 knots SFMR

Another nice burst of convection just went up

Officially a Hurricane 

Nice blowup going on rn

5 AM advisory says they could be too low, now peaks at 90mph

Just wanted to say I miss the ALL CAPS days where the NWS would put a nice long synopsis of what's going on and causing an event in warnings/watches/advisories.

Michigans first killer tornado in years 

Webberville got super lucky, the worst part of it went through wooded and cropped areas with insane ground scouring, but even then the city part of it was given an EF-2

Missed to the east here locally, not gonna complain about it

Williamston [Ingham Co, MI] Emergency Mngr reports Tstm Wnd Dmg at 24 Aug, 9:35 PM EDT -- Multiple cars flipped over on I-96. Possible tornado.

Lots of initiation starting in Michigan 

Waiting for the watch 

15% hatched for Michigan and NW Ohio later today 

Slight risk today for the Eastern MI peeps, MCSville

TD-6 has been upgraded to Gert...unfortunately. Needless to say I don't think this one's going to put up a lot of ACE

Tropical Storm Gert Special Discussion Number   7
NWS National Hurricane Center Miami FL       AL062023
1200 AM AST Mon Aug 21 2023

Recent satellite wind-derived data indicated that winds in the
northeast quadrant were a little over 35 kt.  Conventional enhanced
infrared imagery showed cooling cloud tops of -85 Celsius in the
same region of the cyclone.  Accordingly, the depression is
upgraded to a tropical storm on this Special Advisory.

No changes to the forecast track and intensity philosophy are
required.  Since the environment is still expected to be
hostile with very strong westerly shear during the next day or so, 
Gert should degenerate into a remnant low later today, and 
dissipate by Tuesday.


FORECAST POSITIONS AND MAX WINDS

INIT  21/0400Z 16.7N  55.9W   35 KT  40 MPH
 12H  21/1200Z 16.8N  57.1W   25 KT  30 MPH...POST-TROP/REMNT LOW
 24H  22/0000Z...DISSIPATED

Honestly hilarious, at the 11 PM advisory they said it was dying and it immediately blows up and becomes a storm 

IWX thinking mid week could be MCSville

Perry, Michigan was hit by a tornado. Pretty decent damage in half the town. 

Friday evening bears keeping a close eye on 

lol

The Michigan part of the line got completely eaten by the crapvection

Multiple injuries in a campground near Chicago, tree landed on a tent and camper

Update, yes and it could be damaging. The line in Wisconsin is accelerating east now.

Right on cue, watch issued

@SteboThink it's gonna make it to our neck of the woods?

ILX always seems to have higher SBCAPE, lot of corn nearby? Some of the highest readings I’ve ever witnessed came from ILX where the dew points always seem to be higher than surrounding areas.

Good old corn sweat, central Illinois has a ton of it 

Two EF-0s confirmed in Jackson County 

New line developing for the Michigan peeps
