Nice storm but nothing noteworthy. Got plenty of needed rain and good boomers.

Impressive-looking bowing segment just to my west. Some damage reports from this in Michigan City already.

The squall line looks good over the Lake. Starting to darken up here. Warnings already up just to my north for 60 mph winds. I think those 60 mph gusts will be isolated but I’m ready for a healthy storm.

Hell yeah dude.

Maybe like a "bad winter' in the South. A couple big snows of 3-4" and it melts under 70 degrees and sun the next day.

Long range but neat

Wind screaming in at Wrigley at like 30 mph looks chilly

Flood Watch up for IWX’s Indiana counties.

The dog days of summer. Starting with a Saturday soaking for many of us.

I’m going to cosplay this cut off low as a weak tropical storm.

Would be nice to get an inch of rain out of this cutoff low this weekend.

Associated Press reporting major tornado damage near Appleton, WI

Monster storm complex. Already getting lightning strikes near here in Indiana

Maybe a quick drop near Glen Ellyn. Indiana and SW MI shoreline gonna get rocked.

I was gonna say, which office is holding out?

They can suck for multiple reasons

5 SVR Warnings and a TOR Warning in SE WI but no watch yet.

Here’s this

Might change thread title to Potential Convection Crapfest.

Going all in. If it happens I’ll start the first winter storm thread of the season. Potential for a destructive windbag/derecho Monday. SPC outlining a large Enhanced Risk area with SIG1 hatching. Potential upgrade to CIG2. Day 1 Convective Outlook NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK 1252 AM CDT Mon Jul 27 2026 Valid 271200Z - 281200Z ...THERE IS AN ENHANCED RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS FROM PORTIONS OF THE UPPER MIDWEST/UPPER GREAT LAKES INTO THE OHIO VALLEY... ...THERE IS A SLIGHT RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS ACROSS PORTIONS OF SOUTHWEST SOUTH DAKOTA...WESTERN NEBRASKA...NORTHEAST COLORADO...AND FAR NORTHWEST KANSAS... ...SUMMARY... Severe storms capable of strong to severe wind gusts and large hail are possible across the Great Lakes into the Ohio Valley Monday into Monday night. More sporadic occurrences of damaging wind appear possible in the Mid-Atlantic, Tennessee Valley, central High Plains, and southeast Arizona. ...Upper Midwest/Great Lakes into the OH/TN Valleys... A very moist airmass is in place from the Upper Midwest into the OH and TN Valley. This airmass is exists south of a diffuse cold front that extends from a surface low over far southeast Manitoba southeastward to far eastern Upper MI. One thunderstorm is currently ongoing near this boundary over eastern Upper MI. Most of the thunderstorms are ongoing just northeast another surface boundary demarcating the very moist (i.e. 70+ dewpoints) to it southwest. How this warm-air advection activity evolves early this morning will have a large impact on the severe potential farther downstream from the Mid MS Valley into the OH and TN Valleys through the late morning into the afternoon and evening. Much of the guidance is beginning to suggest the warm-air advection activity clusters early this morning over the MN Arrowhead vicinity before then tracking southeastward within the moisture/buoyancy gradient and organizing/intensifying significantly. Synoptically, the overall setup matches many characteristics of scenarios with strong, forward-propagating MCSs, including a surface boundary parallel to the deep-layer shear, at least modest mid-level warm advection, and very strong to extreme buoyancy. Given the trend within the guidance and favorable synoptics, confidence in the development of a strong forward-propagating MCS is high enough to adjust the 30% wind probabilities westward while also introducing a CIG1 area. There is a chance that both higher wind probabilities and a CIG2 may be needed, but predictability regarding convective evolution is too low at this time.

Getting intrigued for Monday.

I remember my mom telling me about water skiing and barbecuing at the lake on Christmas of ‘82.
